August highlights at the Tap
We're hoping for some hot, sunny weather this August so you can enjoy an Al fresco night at the Tap. With harvest due following the bank holiday weekend our events programme is condensed to the first 3 weekends of August but is jam-packed with great reasons to come and visit. We have some fabulous music and comedy as well as a challenging quiz night planned so we hope to see you soon!
Thursday 5th - Quiz Night at the Tap
On the first Thursday of the month we host a quiz night which supports a local charity. Last month we raised over £250 for the Samson Centre for MS thanks to your support. This month we will be raising money for Phyllis Tuckwell Hospice Care who we have supported for a number of years. Expect some questions on the Olympics!
Saturday 7th - Free Music Saturday: James Deane
Commanding a talent akin to his illustrious namesake, James Deane isn’t a rebel without a cause but rather a highly accomplished musician with a focus on providing unforgettable live music entertainment.
Armed with a guitar, an extensive repertoire and an outstanding vocal talent, James is one of the UK’s most in-demand musicians.
Thursday 12th - Music at the Tap: Howlin' Ric and the Rocketeers
Leeds-based Howlin’ Ric & the Rocketeers play vibrant and authentic rock and roll, roving from raucous rhythm and blues right through to dreamy popcorn love songs. Wailing vocals, virtuosic sax and biting, grooving guitar will have the audience bouncing, swinging and sweating from start to finish.
Saturday 14th - Free Music Saturday: Matt and Tom
Matt has performed solo all over the country at locations such as the O2 and Wembley Arena, as well as a theatre tours spanning from Brighton to Newcastle, singing to thousands of people. Tom plays with and has supported musicians such as James Morrison, James Arthur, Brian May, Lulu, Noel Gallagher and Stevie Nicks to name a few, and performed at various locations including the coveted Royal Albert Hall to a packed out audience.
Thursday 19th - Comedy at the Tap: The Noise Next Door
Laugh the night away in the great outdoors! Join the quickest wits in comedy as they deliver an alfresco dose of mind-blowing songs, side-splitting gags and jaw-dropping physicality. You might have seen their incredible improv comedy on the Royal Variety Performance or Britiain's Got Talent last year or recently at Farnham Maltings. This will be a great night outside overlooking the Hop Garden.
Saturday 21st - Free Music Saturday: The Danny Lee Band
Local Singer Songwriter, Danny Lee brings his band to close our summer music sessions with a mix of mood evoking melodies and interesting musical arrangements from their set of original and cover acoustic hits.
