Uncle Bobs Saturday Night

First Saturday of every month, don't pretend you didn't know...

NEW START TIME - BOB'S GETS EVEN BIGGER AND BETTER! Yours hosts Miss JT and Plum Promotions cordially invite you to: UNCLE BOB'S WEDDING
RECEPTION Featuring special live guests
CHINESE BURN
plus Resident DJs Miss JT, Billy Reeves & Hitman
Hearn and
Guest DJs Malcolm and Bernie (Poptones/Radio Four) SATURDAY 6th APRIL
8pm-late - NOTE EARLIER OPENING TIME
at THE WATER RATS THEATRE, Grays Inn Road, Kings Cross (nearest tube
Kings X) Prices £4 with flier before 10pm/£5 otherwise.



It might be April, but
we're no fools here at Uncle Bob's Wedding Reception,
London's premier boozed-up knees-up. After the sell-out success that was our
bash last month, we're starting even earlier from now on to make Bob's
bigger and even better. So doors now open AN HOUR earlier at 8pm, with our
guest bands now on an hour earlier at 9PM SHARP. To celebrate, we're
welcoming hotly-tipped London band CHINESE BURN to Uncle Bob's for the first
time. They've caught the attention of the music press - so come see for
yourself. They 're kinda knockabout alt-country pop with the added joys of
wobble boards, theremins and jew's harps. Which you obviously don't see
enough in pop nowadays we reckon. We've also got extra special guest DJs
Malcolm and Bernie, previously seen at
Poptone's legendary club night Radio Four, and as usual, Bob's resident DJs
Miss JT, Billy Reeves and Hitman Hearn will be there playing the best youth
club classics, disco trash, punk stompers, sleazy listening, racy retro,
drunken anthems, exotic rubbish and perfect pop which all add up to make
Bob's the best fun night in town. There'll also be the Dance Like Your Dad
competition, the return of Hat's
Entertainment, plus free booze for the first 50 in and the naff nibbles as
per usual.

George Inn (Rye) August newsletter

This month we're delighted to announce the launch of 'the george dragons', the new privilege card from The George in Rye. Become a dragon, and you'll get exclusive monthly discounts and offers that you can take advantage of as many times as you like. It’s free to join and you can sign up for your card online, here.

Lots of you enjoy visiting the beautiful and unusual gardens of Great Dixter when you're here. When we found out that their head gardener Fergus Garrett runs Garden Study Days we seized the chance to team up with them. Book a place on one of Fergus' fun and practical tutorials (upcoming events include Exotic Gardening, and a day on how to choose the best plants) and you receive a special Room Rate which includes Breakfast and Dinner, starting from £150 per room. Look here for more on Garden Study Breaks at The George in Rye. In any case, the Dahlias are out at Great Dixter right now in full force, so head over to take a look as they really are quite something.

If you're more of a bibliophile, you'll enjoy The Rye Arts Festival in September, which attracts some of our most celebrated writers and artists. We are hosting five events for this year's festival, ranging from live music to readings and illustrated talks. The highlight: join Louis de Bernieres and Ilone Antonius-Jones (right) on Friday 19th September for a lovely afternoon listening to their charming music interspersed with jewels from Louis' new, compelling and deeply moving love story, A Partisan's Daughter. More on this, and other Rye Arts Festival events, here.

If you're feeling glum from the wet summer, take heart from the bottom picture which shows me (Alex) and brave (or foolish) friends of The George getting soaked at the annual Rye Raft Race, a local tradition where you make a raft, set sail down the River Rother, and pray to God that you won't sink.

Enjoy the rest of the summer!

Best Wishes

Alex and Katie Clarke
