Title: Brockstock & 2 Smokin' Badgers Music Fest - Bank holiday Monday 27th August
Post by: Gerty Gumdrop on July 29, 2012, 01:51:30 PM: My friends and cohorts who I helped last year with a music festival at Unstone Golf Club, are staging a smaller one this year at The Badger on Brockwell Lane, Monday 27th August from 1pm till late.

Below is a poster image of the band line up.

Jim Palfreyman and Kev Bloom put so much work and effort into getting these events together so please, if you can, come and give them your support and join us for a great day :) :) :) :)

Post by: Gerty Gumdrop on August 26, 2012, 09:53:48 PM: Sorry I couldn't get back to post about this before. I've read the threads and Pete's correct, it's moved to The Royal Oak and some bands will be there tomorrow.

Enterprise Inns seemingly own The Badger and they have a reputation for some cut throat type dealings with their managers, inflating their rents for example. I understand this is one of the reasons for the closure.

Anyway, enough of that......I'll try my best to get along tomorrow. Hope it stays fine ::)

Post by: Slacker on August 27, 2012, 02:50:06 PM: Got a bit confused by brockstock now being Oakstock Day 2.Moved inside which is a shame but music still good. Could get a bit packed though. Anyone else coming?
