Events on Saturday 7th Oct

Tony will save the day ;-)
LONDON (Reuters) - Prime Minister Tony Blair has pledged to give British troops in Afghanistan whatever equipment they need in their "very, very tough" fight against the Taliban.

Britain has faced unexpectedly fierce resistance since sending the first large foreign force to the southern province of Helmand this year as part of a NATO peacekeeping mission.
The government has been accused of underestimating the Taliban and sending in a force lacking manpower and equipment.


Our guess is that what they would like are some days off, some decent equipment and some better air support. Remember folks that this was the Peace Keeping mission that John Reid suggested would not involve firing a single bullet. How bloody wrong can you be and still retain any credibility. Answers on a postcard please!

Cheese & Grain find a Trout!
SATURDAY 14th OCTOBER - WALTER TROUT & THE RADICALS in Frome

A huge coup in booking, from the States, the Incredible Walter Trout Band. Years of touring with the likes of John Mayall, John Lee Hooker and Canned Heat have honed his unique style and dynamic stage performance. Guitar magazines consistently rank him in their top ten and the BBC included him in their top 5. The term "Guitar Hero" was coined to describe Walter Trout and the L.A. Times describes him as "A Torrential Gladiator who continues to set the Standards". California's BAM magazine describes him as a "Blues Master" - "The Blues Torch has officially been passed to Walter Trout ... Eric Clapton, Peter Green, Mick Taylor: Trout could hold his own with any of those 6-string icons!
TICKETS - £13.50 advance, £15.50 on the door.
