On Saturday 19th April we welcome back, by popular demand, the outstanding Candy Opera from Liverpool. Candy Opera were formed in 1982 on the notorious Phythian Estate, Kensington, Liverpool. The band was heavily influenced by 'Love's ' seminal 'Forever Changes' album, 'The Beach Boys', 'Aztec Camera' and local neighbours, 'The Pale Fountains'.  Entry is £8 or £6 (12-25s) and you'll experience one of the best bands ever to come out of Liverpool.  You can book tickets for that online at www.ticketsource.co.uk/the-vault/t-jzdjpjl.

The bar is open from 1pm on Sunday 20th with 'Sunday Funday' Cocktails from 7pm-9pm and the usual great playlist and welcoming atmosphere.  Entry is free.

We'll have a range of local favourites behind the bar too including Five Kingdoms Brewery (Isle of Whithorn), Borderlands Brewery (Canonbie), Crafty Distillery (Newton Stewart), Ninefold Distillery (Dalton), Bladnoch Distillery (Bladnoch) and Dark Art Distillery (Kirkcudbright).
