Playing at The George Inn, Chideock on Saturday 25th August from 9pm. 3 voices, 2 guitars, 1 great night. An evening of classic songs in an acoustic setting with rich vocal harmonies, adorned with the inspirational guitar playing of Robbie McIntosh. Drawing on their love of blues, folk, soul...
Live at The Electric Palace on Bank Holiday Monday 27th August - The Communicators! Critically acclaimed ska band from Bristol and the south-west. Formed in the early part of 2005 The Communicators performed to sell out audiences across the country, playing their own tracks performed in their own inimitable...
This article paints a poor attitude of our council. I am one of the many musicians who have lost our fee for performing last week at the Bayside Festival. I am more disapopinted that the festival has closed than losing my fee. Its not about "desparation for music" so...

"We have submitted a new planning application for an awning for the Watch House Café to increase the covered seating area from 28 – 55, providing much needed shade and protected seating areas. This increase in seating capacity not only protects our guests against the weather, it will protect...
It would appear that Weymouth & Portland Borough Council, in their infinite wisdom, have decided to close ALL car-parks in the town whilst the Olympics are on here, apart from the Multi Storey Car Park in town. Quite why they would do this, I'm not sure, but expect news...
