In 2008/2009 Miles Hunt (of The Wonder Stuff) gathered together a group of friends, old and new, to make an acoustic compilation album that would capture the spirit of a (now) fondly remembered pub and its regular open-mic nights which become something of a musical Valhalla for us all.
I was lucky enough to be invited to take part and contributed three songs to the album which was so successful it sold out in double-quick time. It is now available digitally for just £7.99 from iTunes and Amazon.
