RAPIERS ARE GO!: August Dates Updates

28 June 2010

Regarding those late summer solo Rapiers gigs, you should know:

It's by "invitation only" to Heather Drury's private birthday celebration at the BRSA Railway Club in Chesterfield on 14 August. Best wishes in advance, Heather!
Book tickets c/o longtime Rapiers supporter Ann Green on 02380-863356 for the Hythe Club on 21 August. BTW: For a variety of reasons, Ann and hubby Colin won't be throwing their annual Rapiers bash at Totton's Empire Hall, which (oh, no!) is due for demolition "for redevelopment", she notes sadly. I'm unclear whose redevelopment.

Meanwhile, I hear 14 July "Made in Britain" show in Eastbourne may be a no-go. But gig still listed on venue site: http://bit.ly/arV6F5
