Inside the 22

15/08/2026

Ok ok I appreciate I was being a little cryptic so for clarity...

INSIDE THE 22 is not re-opening and I am not opening another venue myself. I have done my bit and I am back where I should be, spending time with my beautiful family, rebuilding the social life I gave up for over ten years, and of course playing music with The Taylour Brothers and Thomas and the boys.

The new venue isn't mine and it's not based in the town centre (but not far out so don't fret) - please don't be disappointed. It's a great project and I am excited by it.

It is really positive and if I get the chance to support it then I will, wholeheartedly - and I hope you will too.

Rugby and its surrounding areas needs all the love and support it can get. Especially the independents and more over the independent hospitality venues.

Peace | Love | Respect | Responsibility

All the love

Watch this space for NEWS of a brand new venue where you will be able to prop up our old bar - you never know you might even see some familiar faces and enjoy some familiar bands.

Hey everyone I hope you're all doing well. I just wanted to drop on here and connect quickly. There have been a lot of positive things happening in "Oli-World" with the music since closing the bar. I am trying to keep my hand in with live music and events. I'll be jumping on here for a quick live stream at 21:00 tonight to tell you a little bit about the work I am doing and the plans I have. In the meantime here are the dates we have so far for Thomas Atlas this year, there will be more - we are also playing The Duke on Thursday 2nd April from 21:00 - I just heard that the old crew are all coming so if you want to come and have a night with us I know I speak for the bar team too, we'd love to see you x
