Evening All

Sam here..

After nearly 8 years Jay and I are hanging up our Gig Guide and local music hats.

It's been a labour of love to promote all the local venues and musicians every week.

We hope that all the venues have gained customers from sharing the listing and bands/musicians have gained fans along the way.

We are so passionate about what we do but the time has come to hand over the reigns.

The lovely Ella will be taking over the page and will continue on with the weekly Gig Guide and other new ideas she has to support the local scene.

Please show your support by continuing to follow and share the information JCT10 A delivers for free each week.

Thanks again.

Much love

Sam & Jay Griffin x
