Join us for Paddy's night at the Grainstore! Great beers and a great opportunity to sing, dance and make merry!! It's all free entry, and easy to get to as it's next door to Oakham Station! As always, we only play to raise funds for charity and our trusty old charity bucket will be circulated - so be generous! Coincidentally the England vs Ireland Rugby Match will be on view from 5pm - so there should be an atmosphere! It doesn't matter who wins - we've got Irish, English in our band - and a Dutchman to referee!

Tonight we’re supporting 11 women, "The Greetham Chicks" who are doing the 14 mile night time Moon Walk around the streets of London to raise money for a breast cancer charity.
The fun starts at 8pm, free entry, food available, and a great selection of Purity Beers + Guinness – all at £2.50 a pint!! McGoo, great beer at good prices – what’s not to like?!
The pub was packed, and everyone was there to support The Greetham Chicks Moon Walk for Breast cancer Care. Les's raffle and the shaking of the battered McGoo charity bucket raised a magnificent £370 towards the cause! A great night was had by all.
