With just over two weeks to go before our second music night we’re glad to say tickets are selling well. Tickets are on sale from the club shop and bar and will also be available on the night at a bargain price of just £5 each.

The evening of Friday 12th October will see the Koho Duo perform in the function room at the Arden Garages Stadium. Warwickshire based Jenni and Matt make up the Koho Duo, performing covers and their own material, spanning a variety of genres. The duo who specialise in haunting harmonies and melodic tunes were Grand Finalists in UK Open Mic in 2017, a competition that had over 10,000 entrants.

Committee member and local music promoter Doug Armstrong prides himself on only booking the brightest talent and therefore we’re sure that our Music nights will continue to guarantee fine entertainment and good time for all.
