Particularly known for their Christmas and Valentine’s shows, the band has decided to add Halloween to their calendar, to exhume all those classic hits about monsters, ghosts and devilish stuff. 


Called Sing-along-a-Scary Nick, the show will have props, costumes, sound effects and, of course, lots of music, to get your heart pounding and your blood oozing. 


The gig will take place in the Acoustic Lounge with tickets just £5 each (cash) or £5.50 on card or online.


The Sing-along-a-Nick trio features:

  • Landlord Nick on piano and leading the singing (howling)
  • Mr Minch on double bass
  • Bradley on drums


Don’t forget the annual Sing-along-a-Nicktivity Christmas shows take place on Friday 19 and Saturday 20 December, always a sell-out, packed with sackfuls of Christmas carols and cheesy hits. So whilst you’re buying your Scary Nick tickets, grab your Nicktivity ones too - a treat for all the family! They’re the same price.


Let the fun resume!
