the New Cross Inn. great news, was gutted about missing boxstock due to working at Bestival. and i missed the Hollowbelly gig at the Inn due to another festival. Fantastic news.

This time next week I'll be ordering me first pint and checking out the pie menu at the Salutation, followed by a bit of entertainment from the mighty Mr Hollowbelly. Can't bloody wait!!
