Sounds Like: YOU SHOULD JOIN US......and all the LOVELY bands in our top friends who are coming to play and have fun at The Country Club...~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"The Country Club is an enjoyable way to while away a Sunday afternoon... I'm pretty sure I'll be back again" - Gareth Hacking (Guestlist Music)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"The Country Club was notable for the friendly appreciation between one act and another... There was none of the usual “I’ve played so I’ll be off, then” nonsense that you can see in other places... any stand-offishness evaporated on the threshold. From one gig-weary soul to many; isn’t it lovely to hear kind words and see mutual back-slapping where it’s due? I must say that my cockles were thoroughly warmed…" - Meg Vaughan (manchestermusic.co.uk)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"A stellar musical line-up which simply drags you out of your Sunday stupor... deliberately designed not to upset your fragile Sunday sensibilities." David Sue (M.E.N)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~THE nu-folk-cum-melodic-rock event of the month...(Manchester Music)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~MEETING 16 ITC Fringe Showcase @ THE BAY HORSE...~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ENJOY... xx
