I know this is the 2nd email/blog update this week!!! Don't panic, we aren't planning on making this the norm (we think hearing from us once a week is plenty)! However, I am off on a very overdue holiday for a few days at the end of this week, and despite having worked out how to schedule a blog update to go up next week in my absence, I cannot for the life of me figure out how to schedule an email out to you with said (not yet published) blog post. So after hours of swearing at the computer, I decided 'stuff it' you can have two updates this week instead!!! If you are one of those super clever buggers who knows how to work such computer magic as scheduling an email linked to a not yet published post, please don't feel the need to share (nobody likes a smartarse anyway)! I know I should have more of a desire to learn such things, but I am pretty content with my press-all-the-buttons-and-hope-for-the-best philosophy when it comes to computers, so any knowledge would be wasted on my Luddite brain. Who knows? Perhaps when I return from my well earned few days of rest I will have found inner calm and will be better able to navigate the daily technological challenges of my job role. But as it's far more likely I will return completely crackered, sun burnt and 40% proof, I wouldn't hold your breath!!
So, anyway, here's this weeks, next week update...!
2022 is going down quicker than a porky kid on a seesaw! It seems ridiculous to think that half the year is already behind us, but true enough, July is now just a few epic events away! We have been so looking forward to having a proper Summer here at The Crooked Crow Bar. As well as our usual offerings of fantastic live music every Friday and Saturday night and our midweek gigs and events, we have some corkers in store, from Pirate Night, Rum & Reggae Fest and The Crooked Crow Musical!!! More details will be coming soon, but for now, check out what goodies we have lined up for you over the next couple of weeks....
