I've changed the way you can book your slot at the Open Mic Nights. You can pick up a copy from The Crown or you can view it here

Hi Everyone
Sorry it's taken me so long to update the site. I'm working on a big upgrade for it. I need to make it simpler to update
and I want it to reflect what we're currently up to.
Well. it was St Georges Day and I must say how impressed I was with the bar staff. A real effort but very good. I'm sure I got another photo of Julian with the English flag in the background. Priceless.
Thanks to all those who came and we hope to see you all again soon,
