The Bull's Head Pub - by the River Thames at Barnes is recorded as early as 1684.
It is one of the oldest hostelries in Barnes.

Yesterday I was listening to an internet stream of a BBC Radio show on which Nick Lowe was the special guest -- and the presenter (Robert Elms) mentioned Alan would be playing down at the Bull's Head that night. "An absolutely amazing musician" is how he described Alan. What a thrill for me to get two of my favorites on one show! (And then Elms played a Kinks song, so that made it THREE.)

It's killing me to see that Alan is playing on November 8, 2007 at the Bull's Head (unless I read the dates backwards) and I'm here in New Jersey. :cry: Does anyone make videos of his performances there?

LuLuLaurie - December 13th is Alan's next date at The Bulls Head!
Every month I think - maybe next time I'll get down to Barnes.

Okay, I'm jealous - Now is Barnes the name of the city where the Bulls Head Tavern is? How far is that from where you are? I got a copy of a tape that had Alan playing at the Bulls Head quite a long time ago, but it looked like a really fun place, very relaxed, and that you could pretty much be sitting right next to him while he played. If you do go, maybe you could tell him to contact us on the website, how many devoted fans he has here, guilt him into writing to us! Do they let anyone make videos of his appearances there? I hate to think it, but I doubt he will come to the U.S., so maybe they might let a video be made. If you do get there, please report back, lucky you!

Laurie, Barnes is part of London, on the south bank of the Thames. So next time you have an excuse to go to London, just make sure you're timing it for the second Thursday of the month.

Has anybody been to The Bulls Head to see Alan?

If so what is it like please. Is it a very big place?
I am sure Alan's performance will be excellent just wondered
what the place is like.

Judging from the pictures on the web site, it doesn't look all that big -- a nice, intimate venue, I'd guess. Most of the time it's a jazz venue, and generally those are small and clubby in nature. Are you hoping to see him there? I'd love to hear first-hand what it's like. If you do go, please report back!

Have you folks seen the Bull's Head new website?
It answers one of my questions which was : how long in advance should one show up to make sure to have a seat.
Unfortunately, it displays the schedule of the month only, so, difficult to plan. But let's bet on the second Thursday of each month.

I swear I'll go nuts by the end of the year!! :LOL2:
I wish there weren't an English Channel between France and England, it would make it so much easier to get there!

Hi Lullaby
If you are thinking of coming by car have you ever considered driving through the Channel Tunnel?
- not that I have ever been through it - just a thought

Hey Jean - have you told your surgeon you cannot be admitted to the hospital before April 10th?
