SUMMARY:The Ropemakers\, Bridport
DESCRIPTION:We don’t play a lot of pub venues these days. \nBut then The Ropemakers ain’t a lot of pub venues! \nOne of the first places ever to take a punt on us mad badgers way back in the mists of time\, we’ve been coming back to pay our dues to John & Geraldine ever since. \nExpect scenes of carnage\, hilarity and occasional musical proficiency\, squished into a narrow space between the bogs and a pool table. We can’t wait! \nIt’s in the Xmas holidays too which means the perfect excuse not to visit the in-laws or go for a bracing walk at West Bay…
