This is a message to all of you who have tickets for the secret Arctic Monkeys‘ Glastonbury warm-up gig tonight. Unfortunately the band have had to pull out at the last moment due to ill health (hangovers) but I am very pleased to say that local folk trio, and ”friends of Jesus”, The Faith Tones, have stepped into the breach. The popular Godbotherers have promised to play tracks from their fab new LP Jesus Use Me, as well as from their previous LPs Jesus We’ve Been Waiting A Long Time and Jesus It’s Really Cold Outside. The all-lady threesome will be rocking our back room venue from 8.30 and Arctic Monkeys tickets are valid. So if you like bopping to Godfearing lady singers whilst drinking real ale (this week’s featured ale is Demon’s Dung) tonight is for you. And don’t worry if you don’t already have an Arctic Monkeys ticket as we’ve got plenty on the door. See you tonight. Cindy Carmarthen, Bar Manager, The Blind Badger Pub & Venue
