Just as 'SIX-IN-A-BAR' Classic
Jazz Band were making a success of playing in the afternoons at the
Thornton Little Theatre, the Council, in their infinite wisdom, have
increased our hire charge by 300%. Amazing forward thinking don't
you think?! It is impossible to support that sort of increase so
with regret we have had to pull out of all the future booked dates,
the first being on the April 18th. I sincerely hope this doesn't
upset our loyal fans too much and that most of them will either read
this or hear through the grape vine about the unfortunate
situation....
...However...hopefully good comes out of bad and I approached a pub,
just up the road from the theatre and they are very keen on
continuing the afternoon jazz.
Instead of Wednesday afternoons we are now going to be playing at
The Bourne Poacher on Sunday afternoons from 1pm till 3.30pm. Easy
to remember as it is going to be the last Sunday of each month.
I hope this is a good idea as...
Several fans who would have liked to have come on a Wednesday
afternoons, couldn't because they are working.
Travel will be easier on a Sunday with a bus service that passes the
door.
There is a huge car park at the pub.
Fans might like to incorporate a Sunday Roast lunch while listening
to the jazz.
There is a small dance floor as well.
The Bourne Poacher is a beautiful large hostelry, ideal for
entertainment, and Angela and Ian who have been the tenants for some
years now, building up a very successful business with a fully
stocked bar as you would expect, and also offering delicious hot and
cold food at the right price, which includes Sunday Roast Lunches,
are looking forward to welcoming you to this new venture.
The address of The Bourne Poacher is...325 Fleetwood Road North,
Thornton Cleveleys, Lancashire, FY5 4LF and their telephone number
is 01253 867481.
The first two Jazz on a Sunday afternoons will be on April 29th &
May 27th. We hope to see you and welcome you to this new venture.
