Only 8 spaces left for our One Man No Biscuit gig on Saturday 24th October at 8pm.

An evening of Half Man Half Biscuit covers awaits you. If you came last time you know he is brilliant. If you didn't, trust us, he is.

Comment below or message us to book.

One Man No Biscuit is back for his only gig of 2026 that we know of.

On Saturday 24th October at 8pm, OMNB will treat us to a full set of Half Man Half Biscuit covers upstairs at The Pin.

Entry is free, though feel free to buy OMNB a b**r, he likes b**r.

By an incredible twist of fate, this gig of all gigs coincides with our Autumn Dark B**r Festival too, and we have some fantastic b**rs planned from the likes of Hardy's, Lervig and Holy Goat, with others still to be decided.

We'd advise booking for this, to guarantee a space. Message us or comment below please.

Don't forget that we have a fabulous night of music at The Needle & Pin next Saturday raising funds for an amazing cause.

The Midnight Music Library, a local charity that aims to help anyone who wants to learn a musical instrument but is unable to afford one.

Let us know if you are coming. It would be lovely to fill the room with people to hear these amazing musicians.

Our next charity gig will be at the pub on Saturday 19th September, when AVAST! will be performing a selection of Sea Shanties and other songs on International Talk Like a Pirate Day.

Its bound to be fun. They will be asking for donations for their Music Library charity which aims to help people.who want to play a musical instrument but can't afford to buy one. A very worthy cause we think.

Please comment below or message us to book. We're fully booked for The Yard Goats this week, let's see if we can do it again for AVAST!

Less than 3 hours to go.

You know you want to.

Come on down, the more the merrier. Let's lift the roof off.

Clear the diaries.

The social event of the year is at The The Needle & Pin on Friday 11th September at 8pm.

Fatzorro makes his first appearance of the year at The Pin, accompanied by The Jazz Crabs.

You can book if you fancy this. It's not essential but it helps us decide how to lay out the room. Comment below or message us if you want to book.

Our minds drift back ro the 1980s when Gillingham F.C. fans had a fanzine called "Brian Moores Head looks uncannily like London Planetarium." They had a point.

Thanks to everyone who came to our Warpigs tap takeover last night. A fabulous night. Lots left still. You managed to drink half ofbthe Threeborg Danish Pilsner in one night though!

Tonight we have Fatzorro and The Jazz Crabs leading the Needle & Pin choir upstairs. All welcome to join a proper old fashioned pub sing song. It's the only place to be!!!

Our Warpigs Tap Takeover starts tomorrow.

Four absolute worldies on tap.

You could do worse than having a singsong to Fatzorro and The Jazz Crabs on Friday night while indulging in Copenhagen's finest.
