I spent an enjoyable evening at the Farmers Arms in Holmfirth last night courtesy of the open mic. There was a friendly and relaxed atmosphere and a good crowd of musicians, many of whom I’d never heard play before. They ranged from a young folk band with fiddle and some excellent tunes, to singer song writers, and a spot on cover of Neil Young’s Heart of Gold. And I always like it on a night like this when something unexpected pops up as it usually does, this time in the form of some solo saxophony.
This night takes place every second Tuesday, unless it snows badly, which it did in January but is hopefully unlikely to do so for the rest of the year – famous last words and all that. I’ll certainly be bobbing along to the next one for a few beers and songs. Hope to see you there.
Just as an aside, I took a picture of the ladies toilet - to be clear, of the ladies toilet door, on which a passing punter had randomly drawn this fun picture:
Hi Martin, I didnt randomly paint this on the toilet door, I spent weeks designing it and a full day painting it along with the Scarecrow on the Gents..... but thanks for admiring it and posting the pic! Stu
