Our usual menu of fresh pies cooked by Rose, accompanied by mushy peas made by Stu from the Bay and delicious lemon and poppy seed muffins by Lynette will also be available to purchase. Come for the art, stay for the atmosphere and roll on to the game with good spirits. Doors open around 1:30pm.

This performance dives into the grime and grace of Oliver’s world. Expect romance and passion, villains and crime, synthesizer and LinnDrum. On tap, we have to offer Buxton Featherbed (4.7% NEIPA) Straight out of ‘Merica. A hazy, low-bitterness pale ale that’s soft, juicy, and dangerously drinkable.

To follow, we’ve got a new project by Malcolm’s returnee @dimitri_why_dont - Oliver! By Oliver. A synthetic reimagining of the woes and joys attributed to the historical boy we know as Oliver Twist, set to a backdrop of electronica and drum machines.

We’re finally back at Broadhurst park this Saturday! Before the match join us under the SMRE for a vibrant afternoon of poetry, performance, and pints, the perfect warm up for game day.

And the band played on. Big credit to Don't Worry for putting on a sterling "pre-match" set at @theoddies.bsky.social despite the game being postponed @specialistsubject.bsky.social

Breaking news(!) .... at 13:50ish, a Q&A with James Quinn about this year’s JB Shorts event. James is well known for his expert, unbiased commentary on FCUM Radio and his roles in Corrie, Hollyoaks, Apostasy, Safe, Doctor Who, Gentleman Jack, Doctors and more... plus, we have Vegan Banana muffins!

But… we also have a new addition. As we’re dead woke, we’ve been feeling guilty about having nothing in for the vegans. So, we’ll have the super-spicy Shin Cup and not quite as spicy Soon noodle cups available at an eye-watering £1.50.

Doors 13.00. Baz lights up the room 13:50ish before Don’t Worry

We do, as always, have beer. The guest cask is ‘Bruce’ from Bingley Brewery, not an insipid Australian lager, but a ‘5% hazy NEIPA’. Whatever that is. But it sounds delicious. Food will be the always welcome Twin Gods of Pies, Tater Hash and cheese and onion.

They’ve very kindly agreed to play us a set on Saturday afternoon. Recording for the Bristol-based DIY Punk Label, Specialist Subject Records (and this is punk in its best, broadest sense), they have an LP out, ‘Idealism’, which they’ll be bringing with them and from which they’ll be playing songs.

So, here we are again, again, again. (But you are all allowed some B&Q time next Saturday).

Our act today, Don’t Worry, is a band from Harlow, Essex, who are finishing their current UK tour at The Talleyrand on Saturday night...... (read on)
