What a banger of a night at The Retreat Bar in Bewdley last night!!!

As always, it was brimming with talent, from all ages and all genres!!!

We even had a decent audience to play too - some came to watch the footy but couldn’t resist venturing up the stairs to listen to what was going on! 🎸🎤😊 Thanks lads 🌟👍🏼

Massive thanks to everyone who played and sang - we love ❤️ you all…

See you next time you wonderful lot 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Oh… almost forgot to apologise to Harry Bayliss for being such an airhead and assuming that he was old enough to have seen Queen live…. 😂😂😂😂😂😂🫣🫣🫣🫣

I know you’re only a whipper snapper H… It just doesn’t seem that long since Freddie died, in my mind anyway…. 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🫣🫣😂😂😂

(Stupid old bint…!) 🙄
