*And the Award goes to…*
Well, we all think we know why The George was awarded Wales’ Best Pub and Bar in the recent National Awards. But do we really know why?! Or was there something we’ve not been told…well, read on before you venture to The George to listen to tonight’s live music!
Obviously it was, “the hard work, passion and dedication of the staff” that appealed to the judges. But was that the only reason? According to a completely unsubstantiated rumour going around, the judges are thought to have hinted,
‘The George is a deserved winner of this prestigious award by its ground breaking encouragement of live music. We were impressed with the quality of the music routinely on offer, especially from ‘The Heulwen Collectif’ the band appearing tonight, and formerly known as ‘Celtic Crossing’.
So if you think the rumour may have been started by a member, or members of the band, come up to the top bar around 8pm tonight (Saturday) and see if you agree. There’ll be fast and furious, melodic and tuneful fiddles and flute, cello and harmonica, playing a mix of Celtic tunes from Scotland and Wales - alongside Irish, and the odd tune from Brittany (that’s Brittany France not Britney Spears!).
