A PLAYHATCH pub is hosting a Valentine themed event with love songs – and silliness.
The show at The Flowing Spring inn will include musical numbers and sketches performed by trio, Sing-along-a-Nick.
And audiences can make an evening of it by booking a three course meal beforehand.
Singalong band members, singer and vocalist Nick Willson, guitarist Steve Lester, and double-bass player Mr Minch, appear regularly at the pub, where Nick is also co-landlord.
He and his wife, Hazel Lucas, manage The Flowing Spring, and enjoy arranging live music events for their customers.
Throughout the year they invite bands to perform a range of new material, and covers.
“We always look forward to the concerts,” says Nick.
“It’s good fun, and makes a great change from the normal running of the pub.
“It really is as much for us as for our customers, and keeps us on our toes.”
Sing-along-a-Nick’s Valentine show will include some love songs, but Nick explains that people shouldn’t expect a romantic evening.
“There’s plenty of silliness, and additional sketches,” he says.
The band have been together for a number of years, and as their name suggests, are known for playing familiar songs their audiences can join in with.
Their new material and re-worded covers songs are interspersed with plenty of silliness, humour, and audience interaction.
“Lots of people like our Valentine show just because it’s a great alternative to a traditional romantic night out,” Nick adds.
“It’s a chance to have a relaxed meal without candlelight or pressure, and it’s followed by a giggle.”
Hazel enjoys the events as much as Nick.
“Nick is a man of many talents,” she says.
“He’s played the piano for as long as I’ve known him, and our year really does revolve around live music.
“More and more people are discovering our little pub, and just I love sitting back and watching people enjoying our shows.
“This one promises to be creative, fun and unick.”
Tickets can be purchased for the event only, or for a three course meal as well.
Event only tickets cost £5, and are only available in person at the pub.
Tickets for the show and meal cost £25, purchasable online or in person from the pub.
Meals must be pre-ordered from the special menu.
The event takes place on Saturday, February 11, with meals served from 6.30pm, and entertainment at around 8.30pm.
