Hmm, blog eh?

Hello punters & friends,

Here is our new blog, which you can now use as a direct portal into the minds of us at the Brandling Villa. I know, it's late at night & you're reading the thoughts & opinions of the bar staff at your local pub, but hey, some of the greatest occurances of history stemmed from the thoughts & opinions of the folk in a local pub. Although maybe not this one.

Maybe that's what this is for.

What we would like it for is to consult you, the punter. We have facebook & twitter and all that banter, but we know what you've had for lunch and whether you think the weathers rubbish.

See, you might be familiar with the things we've already done (the Sausage & Ale Festival, the Big Pie Weekend, the BV Folk Festival) & the things we have planned (the BV Oktoberfest, the BV beard & moustache championships, the FILMisFREE film festival), but we need to know what you want to hear, see, drink, eat and so on. No matter how bizarre or mundane.

Tell us if our wallpapers rubbish and you find our hairdo's aesthetically pleasing or not. Present us with well structured arguments for us to wear lederhosen, sell chocolate coated kippers or host a monkey boxing match...or tell us if our blogs rubbish.

We'd like to keep in touch with all our resident and not so resident musicians...our folk musicians on Tuesdays, our blues contingent from Henry's Swing Club.

Plus, the guys who frequent us for their book club and their blog... http://gosforthbookclub.blogspot.com/2010/06/im-back.html.

So enlighten us... 

See you down the pub.
