Family band Beardsmith kick off weekend of fine music at Jolly Tar near Nantwich

Mar 16 2011 by Will Harris, Crewe Chronicle

POPULAR South Cheshire family band Beardsmith will be back at The Jolly Tar in Wardle tomorrow (Thursday).

The six-piece, comprising father Neil, sons Graham, Gary, Ged and Gill and daughter Alice, have built up a sterling reputation throughout the UK.

The family, who live in Poole, just outside Nantwich, have been gigging extensively throughout the country but still give many performances locally for their faithful army of fans under the name constructed from their double-barrel surname Beard-Smith.

Classic heavy rock is on the menu on Friday with the return of Sin After Sin.

The band cover tracks from the likes of Whitesnake, Thin Lizzy, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath and Iron Maiden.

The rock then continues when The Plot lose it on Saturday.

They play a variety of covers from AC/DC, Rainbow and Dio.

Landlord Ray Bispham said: “If you like your rock loud and proud, this is for you!”

All gigs are free and start at 9.30pm. For more details phone the pub on 01270 528283 or visit www.jollytapub.co.uk.
