9.4.10

First of all there's a change to the line up at the Flowerpot in a couple of weeks. The Wholigans gig on 1st May has had to be postponed due to circumstances beyond our (and their) control. It has provisionaly been re-arranged for Friday 1st October. As soon as it is confirmed we'll get the tickets on sale. All tickets sold for the May date will of course be valid for the October gig. Refunds are available at the point of purchase for those who wish to get a refund. Very pleased to say that the date will now be filled by the superb Blondie tribute band who made their first appearance at the Pot last year - BLONDIED. Tickets are priced £8 for this and are on sale now. Great to have this band back after they thrilled a pretty packed audience last December.

March has been a brilliant month for music at the venue. All the gigs have been well attended and the bands have all been superb. We had a few newbies in March and they all went down well. Started off with "Keep It Cash" on the 5th March. Again a packed house saw their first appearance at the Pot and it proved to be a massive success. A knowledgable and enthusiastic crowd created a very special atmosphere. Talking of knowledgable, we all went away from the Kast Off Kinks gig with a broader knowledge of The Kinks. A fascinating insight into the band played by original Kinks members - a real treat. As for the blues, two new names entered the Flowerpot gig history ranks. Coco Montoya showed us true class and musicianship of the highest order. Closly followed by Rob Tognoni who went away enthused by his Flowerpot experience. Almost forgot the Los Mondo Bongo gig on the 11th. An all star band playing the music of Joe Strummer was an early contender for gig of the year. Fronted by the magnificent Mike Peters it was a joyous gig from start to finish. Last but not least of the newbies, Never The Bride entertained us on 20th March. A full on rocktastic gig fronted by the equally rocktastic Nikki Lamborn. I also have to mention David Levy on bass who has to be rated as one of the coolest bassists to play the venue. One helluva gig and a rock n roll after gig party as well - nice! Big thanks must go to Connie Lush, Panic Room, Fred Zeppelin, ACDC UK and Ian Siegal who all made this March one to remember. As always to everybody who comes down to the gigs - Thank You! it just wouldn't be the same without you

22.2.10

Well it seems like ages since I posted any news, views etc on the web site so I thought I'd take time out to ramble on a bit. 2010 thus far has provided us with some superb gigs up to press. Opening with Paul Jones and Dave Kelly on a Wednesday night in mid January. A stunning performance by these two blues giants who captivated the audience with some expert playing and fascinating stories that warmed everybody up on a cold January night. Absolutely loved it and a great way to start the year. Great to see Tony McPhee back playing guitar after his recent illness. On the same night we had Stray with the masterful guitar playing of Del Bonham. Not only is he a truly brilliant guitarist , he's a chipper chap as well. Catch Stray live if you can because you'll see what I mean. Great to see Del at Skeg the following week which I'll come to later. Otway the following night and his faithful followers turned up in force and were in great voice. Otway himself was on fine form. A great weekend of tributes followed with Coldplace and Green-ish Day. Both drew large audiences and rave reviews. Dizzy Lizzy paid homage to the legendary Irish rockers and was followed on Saturday by one of my favourite blues guitarists Oli Brown. A truly blistering set of blues by Oli and a guest appearance by Aynsley Lister as well. Simply doesn't get much better than this.... does it? Colin Blunstone arrived on Feb 12th and a packed audience were taken through a mix of songs old and new. Great to hear solo hits along side classic Zombies hits as well. A special mention must go to guitarist Keith Airey. Spellbinding is the word that comes to mind. He's played with a vast array of performers (Tom Jones, Nik Kershaw, Then Jericho, Don Airey and The Zombies) and is obviously in demand. I can see why now! Jon Allen followed his recent solo show with a full band set. Leavon Archer played a great support slot on the night. Thursday 18th Feb and Martin Turner hit the stage. A full on Wishbone Ash set and great to see Ray Hatfield from Belper twin guitaring in the band still. Sinnerboy drew masses of praise from everybody at the gig. Barry Barnes plays with the energy and passion that Rory Gallagher himself would be proud of. Danny Bryant played last Saturday and like Oli Brown, blew me away. A great night and always a pleasure to have Danny at the venue. Always nice to catch up with Ken and Heather as well. Just want to big up Sid on the desk who consistently provides top quality sound at the venue as well. Lovely new monitors for a better stage sound as well. That's 2010 up to date. Thanks to everybody who have been supporting the gigs. Makes it all worthwhile

The gig guide is kept up to date and any changes are made as they occur. You may have noticed then that the gig on 30th April has changed. Harper were due to play but had to cancel the UK tour "Due to the sudden down turn in the US economy". Well we have managed to replace this with a stunner of a gig. Earl Thomas, a superb soulful blues vocalist is backed by the legendary Ike Turner's band, The Kings Of Rhythm. Check out the link on the gig guide for some sound clips. It's gonna be good!

I couldn't finish without a few words about the Skeggy Rock and Blues Festival 2010. It would be great to hear everybodys views on this. Could I suggest going to the guestbook and getting a thread going. It's always a contentious issue with lots of views and opinions so it would be great to hear your views. Personally I loved it this year. A different line up and a couple of corkers - Nazareth and Nine Below Zero in particular but there are plenty more highlights. Chantel McGregor was another highlight and I'm pleased to say she will be at the Flowerpot sometime this autumn. Still a few gripes though. The afternoon sessions need to be addressed I think as neither really worked for me. Sunday in particular was flat. I know the Mad, Bad and Dangerous show needed a break but it needed to be replaced with something similar to keep the interest. The amount of people playing bowls, pool and camel racing on Sunday afternoon told it's own story. Countdown to Skeggy 2011 has started already. A must on a lot of people's calender I reckon. Keep on rockin'

24.11.09

A change to the line up at the Flowerpot this weekend! Never The Bride have had to cancel their gig on Saturday due to Nikki having a severe ear infection. We hope to re shedule this date for early next year and of course we wish nikki a speedy recovery. I am delighted to say that we still have a band on Saturday and well........... what a band. The LARRY MILLER band will be playing on Saturday and it's £9/£8 conc to get in. A truly wonderful performer who is guaranteed to get the place rocking and plant a great big smile on everybody's face

It's been a superb autumn season at the Pot. Lots of great music and the gigs have been brilliantly supported. We had our first sell outs over the last two weeks with The Christians and The Smyths. They say things come in threes and guess what! yes you've guessed it. We have our third sell out in three weeks with the Fillers this Friday. Promises to be a good un! Suffice to say that if you don't already have a ticket you unfortunately won't get in on the night. We do however have a special gig lined up with the Fillers at the Rescue Rooms Nottingham next March. Check our gig guide for further info

5.9.09

The new autumn season started with an excellent performance by one of the best tribute bands that play at The Flowerpot, The Wholigans. Barry Quinn is absolutely spot on as Roger Daltrey and he led the band through a 2 hour show that satisfied and excited the army of Who followers. Also have to mention Darren Atkinson who played the Keith Moon role to perfection. A great bunch of guys who were a pleasure to work with. A great start to the gigs indeed.

A change to the autumn line up comes on October 23rd. Rocky Athas has had to cancel his show due to circumstances beyond his control. We do however have the Sean Webster Band playing on the 23rd now. Saw them last weekend at the Colne Blues Festival and for me, they were the highlight of the weekend. Great songs and gutsy guitar playing to look forward to. Great to have Sean back at the Flowerpot!

26.8.09

The brand new Flowerpot gig guide has been posted today to you lucky people on our mailing list. Should be with you Friday morning - I betcha can't wait! The booklet will also be available at the Flowerpot and all our other outlets by the weekend as well.

29.7.09

Just a quick note to say that tickets for all the gigs will be available at The Flowerpot from this Friday 31st July. They are currently on sale at our on-line outlets.

20.7.09

Getting close to finalising all of our autumn dates this year. One date that was in for a while has had to be put back until March 2010. This was due to the fact that his new album was late being released hence the new album tour would have been too soon. Our new date therefore for COCO MONTOYA is March 27th 2010. It will be worth waiting for. The good news is that we are now able to re-schedule the Panic Room date for 19th September. It will be great to see them back at the Flowerpot.

We've managed to secure a couple of good 'uns in the last week. One of my favourite roots/rock band The Oysterband are embarking on a UK tour in October to push their new album release. I'm pleased to say that they are playing the Flowerpot on Thursday 22nd October. Also we are pleased to announce the return of The Christians in November. Powerful soulful vocals and a whole host of hits to look forward to. Booklets nearly ready as well so if you are on our mailing list it should be arriving shortly. If not - get yourself on it asap. We'd hate you to miss out!

3.7.09

Still working on the gigs for the autumn season at the Flowerpot. It's looking like another fun packed season with some great gigs to look forward to. We kick off a week earlier this year with one of our favourite tribute bands - The Wholigans. Barry and the boys really do put on a stunning show. We expect this one to be close to a sell out judging by the enthusiastic audience we had for them last time in. September is also the month to enjoy some first timers at the Pot. The Blow Monkeys should need no introduction. Superb soulful sax driven band which I'm sure will help re-live those summer nights of the 80's. Don't just dwell on the obvious tunes though. Their new material has a slightly edgier soul/blues feel to it. Superb live band still and one to look forward to. The same goes for It Bites. We had them on at the Rescue Rooms last year and they blew me away. Great gig but will be much better at the Pot me thinks! On the blues side of things we have the wonderful Coco Montoya on the 19th. Made his name originally as John Mayall's main guitarist (played in the band the same time as Walter Trout) he has since released solo albums that have gone on to sell well throughout the world. Good solid blues to look forward to. Headlining at this years Colne Blues festival in August. I'll be there along with a Flowerpot possee to check him out. A quick mention of Jon Allen who plays in October. His debut release is awesome and has been played regularly on Radio 2. Bob Harris is a big fan along with Jools Holland. I think he's going to be a major star and this is a great opportunity to see him in a smaller venue (Bonamassa springs to mind. If you didn't see him at the Pot when we first told you about him......) Tickets for these gigs are on sale now. Check out our gig guide for the full listing.

I must say that the spring season went particularly well this year with lots to enjoy. Great to see the return of Paul Lamb, China Crisis and The Strawbs who hadn't been to the Pot for a while. They all went well and they should be back in 2010. Los Pacaminos was another great sell out gig fronted by Paul Young. Lovely bloke and the band put on a fun filled show. Tribute bands continue to play a huge part in our calender of events. We always look forward to our regular tribs (Fredz, Rollin Stoned, Smyths etc) but it was the last weekend which gave us 2 new potential regular tribs to the venue. First off were the Fillers who were simply brilliant. A full on show to a packed venue put a smile on everyone's face. Catch them again this November. The Small Fakers were every bit as good as I thought they would be. Great band with strong lead vocal and harmonies and a bucket load of great songs you don't hear every day. Def back this autumn - maybe around Christmas. Thanks to everyone for supporting the gigs. It's always great to see regular and new faces to the venue. Without you it just wouldn't be half as much fun.

2.2.09

Well our new Spring season of gigs at the Flowerpot kicked off last weekend with two great gigs. Sack Sabbath started off on Friday with a superb mix of early Sabbath. First time in at the Pot and we had a great turn out. Sure more will be seen of them. Saturday arrived and we had the re-scheduled Aynsley Lister gig from last December. What a great suprise to have a keyboard player with Aynsley for the first time. Even better when it turned out to be none other than the great Morg Morgan from Ian Parker's band. A superb gig followed with a mix of old tracks plus plenty from his great new album "Equilibrium". The sound was awesome. I'm sure this was not only down to our very own Sid on the desk, but also his brand new BIIIIIIIIIG!! mixing desk.

Sad to hear last week of the passing away of one of this country's iconic song writers John Martyn. Only 60 years old, JM died suddenly from pneumonia. We were lucky enough to have booked John 3 times in the past, including a memorable gig at the Flowerpot on a Tuesday night in 1998, two days after we'd gone down to the Royal Festival Hall in London to see him with the same band that played the Pot. Always remember John tripping on to the stage before playing a faultless 2 hour set of spell-binding JM classics. Also remember going for a kebab at the end of the night only to find the band already in there placing their orders - surreal! The best was his solo gig at the Old Vic in Nottingham. The date was 15th November 1994 and the venue was transformed for the day into a magical gig! Again remember meeting JM at the front of the venue having been dropped off by the taxi - running to the stage with him and..............on with the show straight away. Now that was rock n'roll let me tell ya! A sad loss but truly great memories.

8.12.08

First of all apologies for the late cancelation of the Aynsley Lister gig on Saturday 6.12.08. Aynsley did have a "late fitness test" on Saturday, still hoping to do the gig. The dreaded throat infection still had a strong hold on him though and we had to cancel. It has been re-scheduled for Saturday 31st January 2009. All tickets of course are still valid. Please contact us on 01332 834438 if you require a refund. Once again, our apologies if it messed your Saturday evening about - especially (and you know who you are!!) if you travelled a long distance.

Just to make you all aware, tickets for all of our shows over the Festive period are selling well. We feel it's one of our best Christmas line ups and it will be great to see you all at some stage. Tickets are of course available from the usual outlets. Please refer to out tickets page on the web site.

6.11.08

Sad to hear today of the passing away of the great Jimmy Carl Black. Jimmy has played at the Flowerpot with The Muffin Men many times and was a genuine megastar. A lovely man who always had a great story to tell. The following article appeared on Billboard today

Mothers Of Invention Drummer Jimmy Carl Black Dies November 05, 2008 - Rock and Pop By Associated Press Jimmy Carl Black, drummer, vocalist and self-anointed "Indian of the group" of Frank Zappa's The Mothers of Invention, has died at age 70. Black, a native of El Paso, Texas, died Saturday of cancer in Siegsdorf, Germany, according to Roddie Gilliard, a British musician who performed with him. Born James Inkanish Jr. on Feb. 1, 1938, Black had Cheyenne Indian ancestry through both parents. He changed his name legally to Jimmy Carl Black in 1958, adapting the name of his stepfather, Carl Black. He was playing in the Soul Giants in Los Angeles in 1964 when the group recruited Zappa. "He joined the band and three days later he took it over," Black once said. Zappa changed the group's name and, according to Black, boasted that "if you guys learn my music, I'll make you rich and famous." "He took care of half of that promise, because I'm damn sure I didn't get rich," Black recalled. He credited Zappa, who died in 1993, with introducing him to modern classical music and teaching him complex rhythms. Black appeared on Mothers albums including "Freak Out," "Cruising with Ruben and the Jets" and "Burnt Weenie Sandwich." He played trumpet as well as drumming on the 1968 album "We're Only In It for the Money," and also introduced his catchphrase: "Hi boys and girls, I'm Jimmy Carl Black, I'm the Indian of the group." Zappa disbanded the Mothers in 1969, and Black's career thereafter was not lucrative. A recent remix of some of Black's work was titled "Can I Borrow a Couple of Bucks Until the End of the Week?" The band members were shocked when Zappa fired them. "We all just got a phone call from him stating that he had decided to break up the band and your salary has ended as of last week. That is pretty cold," Black said once in an interview. Black later appeared as Lonesome Cowboy Burt in Zappa's film "200 Motels," and in 1980 he worked on five songs from Zappa's "You Are What You Is." "I had a really good time with Frank at that time and he really treated me great. I even got paid," Black said. Following the breakup of the Mothers, Black formed a band named Geronimo Black after his youngest son. The band's 1972 album was not a commercial success, and Black went to work in a doughnut shop in Anthony, Texas. In 1980, he teamed with ex-Mothers Bunk Gardner and Don Preston in The Grandmothers, a band that broke up and reformed several times over two decades. During one musical lull, Black formed a house-painting company in Austin, Texas, with Arthur Brown. They also made an album, "Brown, Black and Blue." Black moved to Italy in 1992, then to Germany in 1995, and has appeared as a singer with The Muffin Men, a Liverpool band that specialized in the music of Zappa and Captain Beefheart. Black is survived by his wife, Monika, whom he married in 1995 following the death of his second wife; three sons and three daughters. A fundraiser planned in London for Black will go ahead on Sunday, Gilliard said Wednesday

Afraid we've also got to announce the cancellation of SOASIS at The Royal on 22nd November. This is due to internal band problems and refunds are available at the place of purchase. If you bought tickets by credit card it will be automatically refunded in your account.

22.9.08

Well the gigs are now back in full swing and the autumn series gets off to a cracking start. Just had a great weekend with Panic Room and Stackridge, two new bands to the venue which everybody enjoyed - great stuff. Looking forward to the weekend with Pot favourites Fred Zeppelin and the inimitable Larry Miller - Can't wait!!

A change in the programme comes on 3rd October. Rainbow Rising have had to cancel their date but we are very pleased to announce the booking of PURE PURPLE on that date. A superb tribute to the mighty Deep Purple, it will be great to have them at the venue. All tickets that have been bought for Rainbow Rising are of course valid for the show. You can also get a refund at the place of purchase.

28.8.08

Flippin Eck!! Can't believe how long it's been since I posted news on our web site. Even more unbelievable when I think back to the superb gigs we've already had this year. Yep, I'm thinking Michael Schenker, Midge Ure, Fred Zepp, Stumble, Mike Sanchez, The Fillers to name but a few. All in all the Spring season was thoroughly enjoyable and we are all looking forward to the autumn series of gigs. With that in mind, I must let you all know that the ever popular new BOOKLET is now available at the usual outlets. Tickets for all the gigs are also on sale at the Flowerpot and on line.

I think we've got a nicely balanced series of gigs coming up with the return of all the favourites and a sprinkle of new exciting names to look forward to. None more so than the blues/soul evening we have lined up on Sat 4th October. We have the awesome Chris Farlowe for you as well as Northern Soul legend Herbie Goins, both backed by the superb Norman Beaker Band. Should be a good 'un! Must also mention one of my fave blues guitarists who plays the Pot on 29/11 for the first time, Sherman Robertson. And what about the return of festival favourites Edward II who have re-formed for one year only. Their first gig back just had to be at the Pot (good choice). Too early to mention the "C" word (Christmas if you hadn't worked it out) but the line up is second to none. Should have us all merrily singing and dancing along nicely but more about that later!

We've also got a few gigs at a new venue in Derby called The Royal. It's a 400+ capacity venue and we hope to be doing a few more there in the coming months. The first at The Royal is Friday 24th October when we have a Classic Manchester night featuring The Clone Roses. Should be a good one. Check out the gig guide for all the dates.

It all kicks off again at The Flowerpot then on Friday September 5th with a great Eagles tribute band called Desperado. Looking forward to seeing you all again at the gigs. Let's rock....

29.1.08

The new booklet for the Spring season at the Pot is now out and available from the Flowerpot. It will be distributed around the usual outlets throughout this week. Have to say it's a pretty strong line up with (hopefully) something for everyone. Will be great to be back at the Pot this Friday for Joanne Shaw Taylor.

If you are planning on coming to the Limehouse Lizzy gig this Saturday, it's worth taking note that we have sold 194 tickets already. Only 56 are left to buy before the night. They are still available from SEE tickets but I'm sure that these are going to go before the night. Also Michael Schenker has now sold 162 tickets. Again it may well be worth getting tickets in advance for this one, I feel it's going to be another of those memorable nights that you'll just not want to miss.

Just got back from the Rock n Blues weekend at Butlins, Skeggy. Nice to see loads of you from the Flowerpot. Able to get rid of plenty of Pot leaflets as well as see some great bands. Highlights for me were John Otway - same set, same songs, but still soooo funny. Also Wilko Johnson was in blistering form on the Sunday afternoon. Dr Feelgood were great as usual. Have to say though that Steve Walwyn's solo on "Down By The Jetty" simply blew me away. Powerful and passionate even though it was early on Saturday afternoon, top man. Also great to see Kyla Brox who gave a stunning performance on Sunday night. Will look forward to seeing her at the Pot this coming Feb. Would be nice to see a few different names there next year me thinks. Also it would be great to get Nine Below Zero back there doing 2 sets instead of the 1 they had last year. All be it though, there's no better way to spend a weekend in January than this. Check it out for 2009 if you haven't already done so. I'll get a link up on the links page to make it easier.

31.12.07

Well where do I start? All the gigs over Chritmas have been stunning. All well attended and the standard of musicians on display have been simply breathtaking. It was also a real pleasure having Are You Experienced back at the Flowerpot. May well have been their best performance at the Pot enjoyed by a capacity crowd.

All that's left is to wish all of our customers, the bands, everybody at The Flowerpot, Glenn on the lights and of course Sid on the desk a very happy and healthy New Year. Alan and Lisa XX

9.11.07

First off, I'm afraid Deborah Bonham has had to cancel her show at the Flowerpot which was taking place tomorrow night, the 10th Nov. Both Debs and Peter have come down with the flu so get well soon. We shall be sorting out a date for the band in Spring 2008 for the Pot when I'm assured that copies of her brand new studio album will be available. The date will be posted on the gig guide as soon as we have confirmed.

The 17th November sees the return to the Flowerpot of the fantastic Ian Siegal band. He is live in session with Paul Jones on Radio 2 this monday night. Check him out. It's on between 7 - 8pm on 88 - 91khz fm. You will also (I hope) be able to buy his brand new album "Swagger" at the show next Saturday.

15.10.07

England in the World Cup Final !!!! Congrats must go to our rugby heroes on reaching the final again. Should be a cracker. The match will be shown live at the Flowerpot this Saturday. It is due to finish at 9.40. We have the brilliant John Otway Big Band on this Saturday. The band will be due on stage at 9.45 this weekend so you can watch us beat the South Africans, win the world cup and then watch the Otway big band all in one fantastic night out.

Have to say that the quality of live music at the Pot last weekend was awesome. Fred Zeppelin treated us to a faultless 2 hour set of classic Led Zep followed by Skinny Molly on Saturday who blew me away with their infectious Southern rock. Sweet Home Alabama was simply breathtaking! Great crowd both nights lapped it up as well - makes it all worth while. Roll on Friday!

13.9.07

Well we're up and running with the autumn gigs. First weekend was superb. Aynsley Lister was on great form with an up beat rock/blues set that I believe was his best yet at the Pot. Great version of "Purple Rain" which would give Prince a run for his money. Toxic Twins rocked the Saturday night with an array of Aerosmith classics. Check out Barry Martin's review on our review page.

A change for November 10th. Deft Leppard have had to cancel their show due to unforseen commitments. If you bought tickets from the venue, you can get a full refund there. On line refunds will be given automatically. We have now confirmed the wonderful DEBORAH BONHAM for Saturday 10th November. A firm favourite at the Pot and a date not to be missed. Tickets for this gig are now on sale.

Tickets for the Clone Roses gig on Friday are selling fast. Be aware of this if you are travelling a long distance to the show. It may be worth getting your ticket in advance

2.8.07

The new Flowerpot booklet is now out and about in various outlets. The best place to pick one up is of course from the Flowerpot where the poster board is now up to date and tickets for all the gigs are now on sale. If you are on our mailing list you should receive it through the post by the end of the week. If you are not on our mailing list and would like to be, drop us an e-mail with your name and address with the heading "mailing list" and not only will we add you to the list, we'll send a copy of the new booklet to you. A great line up for the autumn, can't wait for the gigs to start in September

10.7.07

Just a quick note to let you know that tickets for all the gigs this autumn will be on sale at the Flowerpot from this Thursday (the 12th July). It would have been Friday but we're superstitious. The gigs are all on sale via the credit card line.

We also now have a new review page on the site. This follows on from some excellent reviews and photos by Barry Martin.

27.6.07

Just finished the line up for gigs at the Flowerpot this autumn and what a great set of gigs it is!! Tickets for all the gigs should be on sale via SEE Tickets in a weeks time. Tickets should be on sale at The Flowerpot by the middle of July. Postal applications can be made now. Enjoy the summer and see you all back at the Pot in September.

20.4.07

Tonight's LIVEWIRE gig has now completely sold out. Should be a crackin' night. For those of you who can't get in to the gig, they have been booked for Saturday 3rd November. Get your tickets early!!

19.3.07

Wilko and the boys put on what I thought was one of their best performances at the Pot last Friday. Always deliver a powerful and thoroughly entertaining set. Bonus on the night was the fact that the band on before them - DOSCH - were equally excellent. Dr Feelgoodesque in their delivery, they captivated a packed Flowerpot crowd. Expect to see a lot more of this excellent band.

St Patrick's night also proved to be a great gig. Great to see Thee Na Shee performing so well. A real pleasure to see our guests from Ireland perform an equally stunning support on the night.

Tickets for this Tonight's gig "Walter Trout Power Trio" have all been sold. Should be a good un!!.

19.2.07

WHAT A NIGHT!!!! Yes Saturday at the Flowerpot lived up to all expectations. Aynsley Lister and Ian Parker played an awesome gig to a sell out crowd. They started off together then Ian Parker played what I believe his best set yet. A lot of new tracks from his great new album mixed with some old favourites. Aynsley followed after a short break and they finished together with a blinding version of Hendrix's "Little Wing". Really was music of the highest quality and also nice to see the "sold out" sign go up for a blues gig - great stuff.

Ian Siegal has had to cancel his gig at the Pot which was scheduled for March 24th due to a double booking. We will sort out another date asap. Connie lush has just announced that their current line up is no longer together and have had to cancel their dates until the new line up is complete. Suffice to say we will have Connie back as soon as we can.

Tickets for this Thursday's gig "The Jamm" are selling fast now. They are no longer available on line via See Tickets. All remaining tickets are available at the Flowerpot.

25.1.07

Only a week to go before the gigs start again at the Pot. Just completed the line up and just about finished the booklet. This will be mailed out at the start of next week to everyone on our mailing list. If you aren't on the list - WHY NOT?? The booklets will appear at the venue at the end of next week prior to our first gig of the year - Springsteen Experience.

If you are going to Skeggy this weekend (and I know loads of you are!) for the Rock n Blues weekend, come up and say hello. Really looking forward to this. Last year it was excellent and this year we have the added bonus of Nine Below Zero. Might even take me bucket n spade this year!

24.12.06

MERRY CHRISTMAS to all of our friends, customers and bands who have helped make 2006 a great year at the Flowerpot. ALAN & LISA

Don't forget that tickets for next weeks gigs are still available from the Flowerpot. the credit card line is closed for Christmas.

12.12.06

The first e-mail regarding the top 5 gigs of 2006 has just arrived. Don't forget to send in your top 5 and we'll put them all up on the web site.

from Phil Coates 11.12.06
