New gigs!

Regret we still have no booking for The Pheasantry this year. Seems their new gigs-management person doesn't know a good pizza when it's handed to him or her on a plate.
However, there's a new gig coming up, thanks to MV member Steve Brown, and this one's in Exeter. We don't yet have a confirmed date, but it should be before the end of the year. Pete's e-mail newsletter, out today (Wednesday) reports:
Quote:
Long-time - and I do mean a long time - loyalist Steve Brown has responded
to my plea in Newsletter MV2503 for more possible gigs by suggesting one in
Exeter, with luck before the end of the year. I have of course said Yes,
please.
His chosen location is downstairs at the Mermaid in Gandy Street in Exeter
city centre, a cosy club-style venue with a stage and its own bar, and which
is just a short walk from Exeter Central station, if you're coming by train.
There is no definite date as yet but if you think you may be able to come
please do e-mail Steve at <vanished.venues@gmail.com>. He's organising the gig
himself, so it would be enormously helpful if he could have some idea of the
probable response.

Stay tuned to MV or the Smash Flops Gig Guide for info as it comes.
And, moving into 2026, perennially faithful host Nick Westcott has re-booked Pete for the Lamb Folk Club in Eastbourne on Wednesday 20th May. Once again I quote Pete's newsletter:
Quote:
The award-winning - well, if he isn't, he should be - Nick Westcott has
booked me for the latest in my record-breaking - well, if it isn't, it
should be - series of appearances at the Eastbourne Folk Club for WEDNESDAY
20th MAY 2026. I know, I know, I haven't yet got my latest Moleskine either,
but I am properly committed and further details will appear here and else-
where a bit further down the line. At this point the only virtual certainty
for my set list is "Wristwatch For A Drummer", since for Nick not to request
it would be simply weird.
