The weekend 🍺 and 🎶 thread

[WeeGord]

Evening all, hope we're all glad it's Friday night and have a canny weekend lined up. I'm off to see a monster truck show tomorrow with the kids then watch the Emgland game afterwards. Let's hope there's a better outcome than the Boro last weekend!

I'm not drinking this weekend as I'm looking to reduce my calories intake but will instead indulge in a decent coffee or three.



To get us started with a song, here's a great track from ELO that seems appropriate this week with the warm weather...

Evening WG

Cool cider tonight - nothing ostentatious. Scrumpy Jack accompanied by something equally honest.

 

[Mr_Fridge]

You mention monster trucks and singers from the West Midlands, can only think of this.

 

[HarryVegas]

Bottle of merlot and this classic ...

 

[r00fie1]

A cool bottle of tiger Beer

......an a blast from Bob Seger an The Silver Bullet Band...

Cant believe its 1978!

I'll match Harry's singing sisters with my live act this weekend. They're taking over London's Barbican all day Sunday. No idea what that will involve, but intrigued.

Evening WG. My usual Sauv Blanc tonight over in Pooley bridge, Coolwater bay from Penrith Sainsbury‘s, it’s ok. Been red hot, said elsewhere we walked at Costa del Grassmere-

Love this thread, say it every week but it’s true.

Gorgeous walk after walk, brilliant view of Roseberry and the far end of the Cleveland hills in the haze. What a beautiful place. Couple of quick lagers whilst I showered and prepared tea. Now a bottle of Abbot and currently the Killers just another go as a recompose outside before the Rugby

Have a great weekend every one

Their voices do funny things to my insides. Their mum lives around the corner from us.....funnily enough, I've never mentioned this to her.

[Caesium137]

Having a few Cuca and some small gritty red skinned peanuts, listening to Childish Gambino in Luanda.

It's just a generic photo, I assure you I always have milk in mine. Oh and one brown sugar

It was my birthday yesterday I sampled a few (too many) beers in The Chapel. Due to over indulging I can't remember the names of the beers I was drinking but one of them was blue in colour. How do you brew or even start to think about brewing a blue IPA.

Anyway, bad head this morning but enjoyed my night with my wife and two sons. There was also a group of mixed age who came in playing violins or fiddles, Irish drums and flutes, etc. whilst singing folk songs. What a great place The Chapel is and the customers so diverse.

We are having a drop of French wine we brought back with us and are watching the rugby tonight. It should be a cracking game. Music got to be Altered Images and Happy Birthday.

Edit: Forgot to mention that I looked like the guy in Ingleby's post this morning.

 

[NYboro]

Tonight's live music is The Bandits, accompanied by Village Brewer White Boar.
Tomorrow night is Kung Fu Blues, probably accompanied by Portobello England Expects.
Sunday is Darlington R&B festival accompanied by more beer.

I haven't had a night out in Boro for years but surely The Chapel has to be the best bar in the town?

Was that group part of the folk nights you previously attended?

May well have been. The folk club itself tends to be the last Friday of the month, and I know Ben and Laura are away on holiday right now, but I could see that group playing both nights. Up here in Tyneside there's a really strong folk scene but that club matches anything we have to offer.
