Anyone know what's happening here?

Hi All

We had a gig booked in for 17 October at The Railway in Ramsbottom, just text the landlord Lee to check all was ok, and he tells me he has left the pub having been 'messed about', and is not sure who I should speak to now. Rang the pub but no answer.

My guess is this will now get cancelled, which is very annoying as we had a big crowd of people coming down for it.

Anyone know what the deal is with this place, and even if it's still open?

Rubbish.

That blog is from 3rd August, I booked the gig after that in late august, so this is a new episode, and new news I would say.

Looks like this place is to be avoided in any case.

Doesn't alter the fact the new guy has been a total tit either way. We had a booking but he told us we'd have to "call in to renegotiate our fee and tell him about us and what our set consisted of?" B.O.L.L.O.X!!!! Not blowing our own trumpet but we don't do auditions especially when we've already played the venue and gone down brilliantly. Let him have hs karaoke nights!

we played here the first week Lee took over at a "negotiated down" rate. he liked us and booked us again for last saturday at our usual rate. all last week we tried to phone to confirm and couldn't get a straight answer. in the end it seems someone else has taken over and it was her birthday so she had arranged something else. thanks for telling us !! i'd give the place a miss from now on!

Anyone trying to ring them on the 01706 number is wasting their time - they told me a bit ago it had been disconnected, however the line still rings.

Thanks, don't suppose anyone has an active number for the new management? I suspect not, but worth a try...
