Live No More @ Old Nick's
10 Oct 06: Old Nick's Tavern in Horncastle, which over the past few years has seen a lot of local bands play has had to put a stop to live music. Apparently the local council has applied so many rules and regulations, that it has become impractical for Old Nick's to continue as a live venue. It will be sadly missed. And to the local council: Good One!
