ReARM Real Ale and Real Music. Music events and beer festival pages now updated. Thursday, 6 August 2015. Back to school for Atherton beer bash. On 24 June I wrote. That the famously quirky Bent and Bongs Beer Bash in Atherton had lost its customary venue, Formby Hall, due to redevelopment. I understand the hall has now fallen into a state of disrepair. 6 August 2015 at 09:07. 6 August 2015 at 14:48. Comments, including disagreements, are welcome.

Tomorrow evening, the 12th, there is an open mike night in the Tap and Bottles micropub in the Cambridge Arcade, Southport. Three real ale and loads of bottles. On Tuesday, time off to recover! I've just noticed that this is my 1111th post. 11 August 2015 at 21:05. Gratefu...

RedNev's Blog: Concert for Bangladesh - 44 years on
http://rednev-rearm.blogspot.com/2015/08/concert-for-bangladesh-44-years-on.html
ReARM Real Ale and Real Music. Music events and beer festival pages now updated. Saturday, 1 August 2015. Concert for Bangladesh - 44 years on. It was 44 years ago today that the Concert for Bangladesh took place at Madison Square Garden in New York. Fundraising concerts are now commonplace - Live Aid is the most obvious example - but the concept was a novelty in 1971. Money from the sales of the album and DVD still go to the George Harrison Fund for UNICEF. Backed by an all-star band:. Music For All NW.

On Manchester Road, Southport this Saturday 8 August from around 9.30pm. The band play both covers and originals, led by singer/guitarist Sue Raymond.

RedNev's Blog: Ormskirk pub losses
http://rednev-rearm.blogspot.com/2015/07/ormskirk-pub-losses.html
ReARM Real Ale and Real Music. Music events and beer festival pages now updated. Monday, 20 July 2015. I've heard that the Ropers Arms on Wigan Road has just closed down after struggling along for a while. I recall it used to be a Burtonwood pub; in recent years it has offered accommodation and meals, but there simply hasn't been the trade to keep it going, especially in the summer when the large student population at the local university evaporated overnight. 20 July 2015 at 16:51. 22 July 2015 at 08:28.

RedNev's Blog: Truman's Lazarus
http://rednev-rearm.blogspot.com/2015/07/trumans-lazarus.html
ReARM Real Ale and Real Music. Music events and beer festival pages now updated. Thursday, 23 July 2015. I was at the Wednesday lunchtime song session in the White Star in Rainford Gardens, Liverpool, yesterday, and a good afternoon it was too. I haven't been in this pub for some time, although in the 70s and 80s my friends and I used to seek it out for the quality of its draught Bass. It's a good example of the style, but I suspect too bitter for some. Comments, including disagreements, are welcome.

RedNev's Blog: Turning the corner
http://rednev-rearm.blogspot.com/2015/08/turning-corner.html
ReARM Real Ale and Real Music. Music events and beer festival pages now updated. Tuesday, 4 August 2015. 27% would like facilities, such as WiFi, to enable them to work away from both the office and home. 64% thought the pub was an important economic and social asset to the community. Only 14% thought pubs should do more to contribute to the local community. All this speculation may all be premature - next month could show a massive drop in the spending on drinking out - but I hope not, and I think not&#...

RedNev's Blog: Lager
http://rednev-rearm.blogspot.com/2015/05/lager.html
Tuesday, 19 May 2015. Boak and Bailey have written an account. Of how CAMRA has viewed lager over the years, which is well worth looking at. I thought it was about time that I wrote on this subject, without going over all the ground they covered. They gave up after a while and brewed Kaltenberg under licence instead, but their nice new lager brewery made them attractive for takeover and was instrumental in their closure: proof, surely, that lager isn't good for you. My position is quite simple: I prefer ...
