Wolves & Puppies, Ukrainian Food Sale & Gigs Galore!
Don't miss out on this week's events...
Last night I had the pleasure of catching The Great Malarkey at The Queen’s Head and, while my eardrums are not in the best state this morning, I feel pretty pleased that the live music scene is alive and well in Ramsgate. If you were there, I’m sure you’re feeling it too.
As we enter the final week of February (where did it go?), please do get out and support your local venues, retailers, and event organisers as they work hard through these slower months. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: these events take a lot to put on, and if we want more of the same, we’ve got to show up.
Don’t miss out, until next time - EJP x
