Where possible we shall include a postcode so you can go to multimap.com and find out how to get there.

The Royal Oak, Standishgate, Wigan, 5.00pm. ADMISSION FREE!
Their second gig at this vibrant and recently refurbished live music venue in the centre of Wigan (close to Tesco's hypermarket, where the old Wigan Rugby League ground used to be). Landlord and local musician Chris Docherty has played at the White Lion Open Mic Nights and has booked them for his own pub!

Coronation Park Bandstand, Ormskirk 2-4pm. ADMISSION FREE!
2008 is a year of firsts for the band, and this is no exception. They have been booked to provide the afternoon entertainment, which is happening in Ormskirk every summer Saturday in the park. As hardened fans know, outdoors gigs can provide all sorts of surprises so come along, (hopefully) enjoy the summer sun, bring a picnic and have a musical feast.

OPEN MIC NIGHTS AT THE WHITE LION INN
Ever fancied having a go at playing in front of a live, friendly audience? Are you an experienced musician wanting to find a new audience? Are you just a music fan who loves live music and a great, informal pub atmosphere?
Well, you will do no better than by coming along to one of our Open Mic Nights.

WHEN ARE THEY HAPPENING?
Monday 19th May
Monday 9th June
Monday 7th July
Monday 8th Sept
Further dates to be arranged

WHAT TIME WILL THEY START?
8.30pm, but we will be setting up from 7.30pm and expecting a big demand, so you would be advised to turn up soon after 8pm to fix your slot. However we will ensure that everyone who comes to play gets the chance to play at least 2 songs or tunes.

WHAT'S THE FORMAT?
Any type of music is very welcome, as long as it doesn't annoy the patrons and neighbours! There will no doubt be a fair amount of folk / acoustic music, but the more varied the instrument or voice the better. Please e-mail Ian if you want to ask some questions. A small PA (with phantom power) will be provided. You could also have the backing of the superb Odd At Ease rhythm section that is Dave The Drums and Hairy Mark should you so wish! You also have the fantastic hospitality of your hosts Al and Tracy Branagan, who put on some fantastic food at 'half time' for all those who come.
