More pictures from The Cross Kings

Above and below, more pictures from Wednesday night's Save Our Pubs & Clubs gig featuring King Kool, Larp and Native Souls.
Prior to the event someone commented, rather uncharitably, on this blog, "I'm quite sure that all twelve people that bother to turn up, will spread the word far and wide".
OK, the venue wasn't bursting at the seams but we weren't embarrassed and there was no lack of atmosphere. The great thing was, we were reaching out to an audience that prior to this event was probably ignorant of Forest and the campaign to amend the smoking ban.
In fact, with the exception of three or four people - including UKIP press officer Gawain Towler and Bob Loveday, a long-standing Forest supporter who plays fiddle with Bob Geldof's band - I didn't recognise anyone, which was a step forward in my view.
I'm sorry more of you couldn't make it on Wednesday but, don't worry, there will be more opportunities next year.
Thanks, once again, to Dan Donovan who made the event possible and to the bands who entertained us. I feel a Save Our Pubs & Clubs comedy/music festival coming on!

Think you've hit the nail on the head, Simon, in considering it to be a huge step forward in reaching those who haven't heard of FOREST - and there are many, many smokers who haven't.
Any chance of organising something in the North?
