It has come to our attention that there is an event being run in the locality that should appeal greatly to our demographic, ie lovers of quality drinking (in moderation) and quality singing (done responsibly).
It features the return to the village of the hugely talented Roaring Trowmen, who visited previously all the way from their home port of Bristol and entertained many so richly a few months back.
Those of you at BlokeFest 2015 this June will also be familiar with this amazing bunch of guys, as they ran one of the elective sessions and made such an impact around the place with their singing and bonhomie.
On learning that one of them works as a wine merchant, there was only one thing that could happen - a wine tasting with Shanties evening in Ashton Keynes!
The plan is simple, gather in the Back Room of the White Hart, taste some excellent wines (available at special on the night prices), have some nibbles and be entertained by the blokes singing songs about the wines, the journey, their destination, the sea-faring folk who transported them, the people who drank too much of them and any other angles they can think up to shoe-horn in!
There are also plans to carry on singing after the Tasting with a show in the Pub so book your tickets now (you'll recoup the cost if you buy any wine) and prepare yourself for a great night.
