News on the Brighton gig on 20th May at the Cowley Club. You have to be a member to gain entry. According to their website 'The 12 London Road Social Club [12LRSC]' is a seperate organisation from the Cowley Club. It's a private members club which uses the space in the evenings and is able to sell alcohol. It is co-operatively owned, controlled by its members and depends upon volunteers to keep it going. Only members and their guests may enter, to join you must be proposed and seconded by existing members.'
So it might be worth giving them a ring on 01273 696104 to see what they can do.
Gig details are on the gigs page.

New photos added to the Private Mr Jeays gallery from the "Ed Is At The Ritz" trip.
