Title: Change of Venue for the Perth / Glenfarg gig
Post by: Chris on February 17, 2008, 01:23:22 PM
The Beinn Inn has had a sudden change of music policy which has forced the promoter Mundell Music to change the venue for the two (afternoon & evening) gigs to the Glenfarg Hotel

Confirmation here (http://www.mundellmusic.com/)

i noticed this too and wondered what had happened..... the blurb refers to"  a very sudden change of policy".... wonder what we are to make of that! The web site hasn't changed it still talks about its music.

And Peggy said it has just changed hands - so presumably it's moved on again....

At least they've arranged a change of venue for Fairport (phew!).  Sadly the Iain Matthews gig scheduled for this Sunday has been cancelled. :'(

I was amazed to find the Bein Inn on the itinerary for a full band gig. We've been there a few times and the venue is in a larger than average front room. Fifty people in there and it will be very snug.
It is very intimate and they have had some excellent guests. Is this the latest venue to bite the dust?
