The Piper Norman Arms, 1 Norman Rd, Saint Leonards-on-sea TN37 6NH
Upstairs from a real ale pub according to a friend, sounds good... But the last train back my way is pretty early, so maybe not. One to think about. Says 8pm - 11pm and the last train is about 10:20 so would probably have to drive. Which negates the plus point about it being a good ale pub.
And on the same day as Bloodworm in London which I quite fancied, so obviously not goign to both of them!

Part of every gig I was at from 1987 to 2026. A natural step from my Best Gigs Ever weblog post. Yeah I know very nerdy, let's let that go though, I'm having fun reminiscing about these things.
