Only a few tickets left for this Thursday's Burns night. Amazing food from St Lukes & The Winged Ox, Mic Clark with great tunes old and new, Alexander Riches with his world famous Address to a Haggis. And, of course, great drams all the way.

Following the great success of our Burns Supper back in January we’ve decided to tie in with Wh**ky & Cynicism and do it ALL again.
