A New Venue for Musicians

I was at the Baskerville Hall musical evening last night - it was nice to see some new faces. Educational, too - one of the chaps sang a song about the invention of stainless steel in Sheffield! He'd written a couple about Wainwright, the walker and guidebook writer to Lakeland, as well.
Valeryan had come the furthest, from near Leominster, to try out the new guitar she got at Christmas.
Young Jamie, who plays flute, accordian and guitar (not all at the same time!) hasn't been for a while. Bob, who runs the evening, said that he's heavily involved in Greed! The Musical, which will be performed in Brecon next month, so he's spending a lot of time rehearsing for that at the moment.
And Bob is starting another, similar, evening at Brecon Golf Club once a month. The first one is on Friday from around 8pm.
He said that there used to be a singing evening/open mic at the Market Tavern in Brecon, but the pub is under new management and the new people don't want to continue with it, hence the new venture.
