    Do come and join us!  No advance tickets but we shall be asking for donations to cover expenses for the invited singers/musicians - anything remaining will be shared between starting a kitty for a larger scale event next year and contributing to the Landlord's preferred charity, Macmillan Cancer Nurses.
