3rd December Update - Tremendous News!!!

I am extremely excited to announce that we have received the consent from the Licensing officer to go ahead with the brilliant Shufflepack on 15th December.

Please note that as this is a concert there is no requirement under the regulations to have a meal. You can just have a drink and enjoy the music.  

It is strictly ticket only, and seating at the venue has been adjusted accordingly. You must not mix with other household groups.

All the existing regulations have to be observed. Masks on except when seated, table service only, sanitised hands, one-way system etc

This will be our final gig in 2020. Let's make it memorable

Finally, I'd like to thank everyone for their support in what has been an extremely strange year. I include all the superb musicians who have given us such wonderful music and memories.

Jonathan Townsend for all his hard work on the night and all the stuff he does in the background

BCC Bar and Restaurant for allowing use of their Concert Room

BCC Bar and Restaurant Staff. For all their hard work, patience and good humour in these trying times. They do a fantastic job

Finally .....you lot....you are a very special and very supportive group of live Blues supporters. Thank you for making it all worthwhile and doing your bit for.....KEEPING MUSIC LIVE

Stay safe
Cheers

Mark

Update - 26th November 

I'm very much afraid that, with the news that MK will be in Tier 2, all live music will have to be postponed until such a time we are allowed to open up again.
This also includes the open mics
The way things are I don't see us opening until February at the earliest . I will keep you posted
I will contact those of you who have paid in advance to organise refunds , or credit you against future gigs. We will return next year. I have been messaging with Shufflepack and we are keen to get them on our stage as soon as its permitted
In the meantime thank you for all your support and please stay safe
Cheers
Mark

These sessions are currently on hold.

Updated House rules (23rd Sept)

1. We will be acting within the 2m social distancing guidelines and the concert room will be set out accordingly. We ask folk to respect the guidelines and have patience; after all we are going to get a live music.

2. All drinks will be obtained through a table service. No one will be permitted to purchase from the bar. Contactless payment preferred.

3. The venue is licenced for 150 folk in total. To ensure everyone’s safety, numbers are limited to a maximum of 40.

4. No table hopping. Please do not move the furniture.

5. Use hand sanitising stations regularly.

6. Dancing will not be permitted

7. Follow the one way systems at the club.

8. All visitors must sign in and leave contact details. No exceptions.

9. You will need to wear face mask unless you are seated.

10.It would be wise to contact us via Messenger, email or text to book a place. (If you are one of the regulars and have our numbers, phone or text either Jonathan or myself). .

We have to face the fact that circumstances could change and we might not be able to go ahead. This would be so disappointing but would be necessary to ensure the safety of all involved. 
  
Please bring the correct money, £10 per ticket, with you. For those who wish to pay by card we can offer that option.

Finally, thank you for your patience. I’m indebted to the Committee and the Staff at The BCC Bar & Restaurant for their encouragement and hard work to enable us to get up and running again. I honestly didn’t think we would have any live music until October at the earliest.
