Steve Knightley -
Thursday 17 March
The Cafe on the Green. The First Official Visit of the Rear Admiral. We had lobster pots, we had pirate bunting, we had a burgee hanging over the fireplace. We presented Barry (Steve's alter ego & professional grumpy chimp) with a skull & crossbones woolly pully for those cold nights on the waves, an earring and eyepatch for just in case. (He wasn't impressed.) Click here to see more and visit the Gallery to look at the pics.

Phillip Henry and Hannah Martin
This lovely couple were kind enough to launch the Widecombe Sailing Club and act as guinea pigs while we found out how to put on a gig at The Cafe on the Green. Actually, we didn't do too badly, which is mostly down to the Cafe staff.
Please click here to visit the page for their visit to us.
Check out You Tube to see the gig. This links to the track 'December'.
