Hello folks!
Firstly, I’d like to thank you all for your support and loyalty to the Griffin over the festive period.
As most of you will know, this is my first Christmas at the helm and I have to say I have been blown away by your support.
Thank you.
Now then. On to the news you have all been waiting for. New Years Eve. This year we don’t have one D.J. Oh no, not even two. We have THREE D.J’s in our very own, “Tag Team DJ” event.
The three in question are the infamous, Henry Hutton (of Bad Detectives fame), Chemical Steve and following his success on Christmas Eve, Sam Stewart (Fractus).
The entrance fee is a non negotiable FREE and I’ve even got a late licence assuming we’re all still partying at the normal close time of 01:00.
If Christmas Eve is anything to go buy, this is going to be a wild night and I can’t wait.
See you all soon and Merry Christmas from the team here at the Griffin.
Carl.
Hi folks!
Following it’s massive success, there is no more beer in a box available until 28.12.11.

Thanks folks!

This year, I thought I’d try something a little more traditional back in Wales. So to start the evening we have the wonderful, Frome Community Choir! From 17:00 until 18:00.
Then from 20:30 on we have Dj Sam Stewart and his DJ set “Fractus”. Guaranteed to get you shuffling your bones!
Here’s a samplke to let get your teeth into. http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fsoundcloud.com%2Ffractus%2Fwhat-the-funk-mix-dec-2010&h=vAQFnTM0vAQFgEdaiK5VYp0JkIzhjb6Tx_GmhgE_Z_7p2ug
25.12.11
I’ll be open from 12:00 until 14:00. Friends of the oub will recieve their first one on me. And if you’re lucky, I may even put on a little food too. So come and join me on my favourite day of the year!
26.12.11.
The Griffin gift swap shop!
Too many socks? Doubled up on the same films or C.D’s? Those gifts you put “somewhere safe” 4 years ago and have only just found? Get down here and trade to your hearts content! Think of it as free cycle without the million emails!
27.12.11
Blues Express.
Their repertoire contains a range of material including blues, soul and funk. Particular influences are Bonnie Raitt and Ruby Turner.
The band has been in existence for over twenty years and all the members have extensive experience as professional and semi-professional musicians.
NYE
Well, what better way to welcome in the new year! Your favourite pub, your favourite beer. A tag team DJ set from some of Somerset’s finest.
We have a late licence too. It’s going to be awesome!
That’s it folks! It’s only taken 4 hours, a frantic phone call to out I.T. guy. 16 cigarettes and a minor nervous breakdown, but I actually think I’m getting the hang of this!
I look forward to seeing you all soon.
Carl and the team at The Griffin.
