Opening Market Summary

Bowie tribute at the Ivy House this W/E Skinny if your interested http://ivyhousenunhead.com/

Thanks Stan - I wouldn't have minded seeing that (and the pub), but we have grandchildren to babysit!!!

You have a 2nd chance

End of an email to me:

P.S If you can't make it this Saturday but still want to pay tribute to the absolute stunner of a star come along to the pub on Sunday 24th Jan, 7.30pm onwards, to enjoy a night of professional musicians playing a live set of David Bowie's back catalogue.

I can't make that either Stan, as I'm off on holiday in the early hours of Monday 25th, but I will try and see the pub at some point.

I've seen this Bowie tribute a couple of times and he is absolutely spot on!

OK Skinny you are excused on this occasion -):

Have a good one.
