Means nothing to most of you (if anyone's reading this), but I used to go there a lot. didn't quite make it last time we planned, which looks like it might have been the last of the the Frog. It has closed down before and reopened, we'll see...

Derek is playing at the Shooting Star pub in Southampton on Friday but whether that is a regular thing or not I don't know.

If i hear any more i'll let you know.
