Letham nights

3 02 2013

Hi folks, Thought some of you might be interested in these nights, been to a couple now and were fantastic. Every 2 months 2 bands play high quality music at Letham Village Hall, in Fife which provides a stage for local talent. At each event, the ‘Clap and Tipple’ bar has a fine selection of beer, wines, soft drinks and snacks which are as far as possible locally sourced, organic and/or fair trade.  Room for dancing too.  See http://letham.org.uk/lethamnights/for more details.
