Coming up this Saturday 12th May we are lucky to have the Bad Detectives DJ Tag Team playing all manner of music from Rock N’ Roll through to Country.

Hello one all. Here’s a list of the Griffin’s upcoming events for April.

Most of you will know that the “Sausage Sunday” was cancelled. Well, after having to go home and cook for myself last Sunday….

It’s BACK! Ha! So come and enjoy fresh sausages from the one and only Williams butchers in a crusty roll with some sunshine (even if it is thicker and wetter than normal sunshine) and a great pint!

For Easter Sunday, I’ll do a little egg hunt, so those of you with kids, it’s 50P to participate and the treats will be dotted around the pub ( all in safe child friendly areas) with some clues to help them along the way.

Then for the adults, we have “The Funkensteins” – Women fronted kick ass funk band from Bristol,You will not of seen or heard anything like this before, they are something special. Amazing vocals breathtaking guitar and phat slap bass are provided by the girls Sal and Al, the drums come courtesy of the mighty JC.

22/04/12 @ 15:30

Matt Woosey -Matt is a young contemporary blues artists from the West Midlands, who combines an explosive slap-and-pick right hand guitar technique with big-range blues vocals. Not to be missed!

23/04/12.

St Georges Day. You had Cawl and Welsh cakes on St David’s Day so it’s only fair that I join in the celebrations of your very own patron saint. So what I propose is a night of Brit’ pop, cucumber sandwiches and a splash of Gin.

Over the next few weeks, I’ll be trialling opening throughout the day time. Coffee mornings, parent and toddler clubs, I may even hold a monthly table sale.

What do you think?

Look forward to seeing you all.

Hi folks!

So the eagerly anticipated events update.

First off though, a bit of a reminder. All dogs must be kept on leads without exception. Even if he or she is the cutest most adorable pooch that’s never given any trouble before.

If this rule cannot be followed, you will sadly have to leave.

Anyway on to the fun stuff!

So tonight we have the local legend Mike Poulson and Andrew Ziminski dropping some wonderfully melodic Motown magic.

It starts at 20:30 and will blow your socks off!

Saturday 17th, Sure it’s St Patrick’s day so to celebrate we have the Dan Somerby Blues Band.

Here’s what they have to say.

Dan’s music is a wonderful blues ride from seriously upbeat, rocking and dancing blues to those real soulful ‘bring down the volume’ moments that get everyone’s hair standing up. Dan performs on both resonator slide guitar and the standard electric guitar and in the ‘Dan Sowerby Band’ is backed by Matt Paull on double bass and Ben Coley on drums. Whilst only a three piece they pull off a big electric blues sound!

The band material is a mix of Dan’s own amazing array of songs and many carefully chosen blues covers given the Sowerby treatment!

Before making a name for himself on the blues circuit Dan cut his teeth working as a guitarist for other artists. Some unusual highlights include playing for soul legend The Drifters and playing in bands supporting acts including Katie Melua and The Manfreds. But now, using all this experience and leading his own band, Dan solely follows his own true passion; the blues.

Saturday the 24th at 20:30 we have the fabulous Two Man ting!

A favourite of the Griffin, their upbeat, melodic approach is a sure fire method of brightening up the greyest of days! Here’s what they have to say.

Looking forward to being back in Frome!
