BLAS FESTIVAL CLUB – THIS SATURDAY (17 September) – 10pm

Join Bruce MacGregor (Blazin’ Fiddles) and friends for a tune, a laugh and maybe an alcoholic beverage or two, this Saturday after 10pm.

FREE entry.  Last year’s entry fee into the Ironworks is more than what it will cost you to get up here in a taxi! Go on – support your small, unique venue and have a great night!

Let us know if you’re coming so we remember to save you a dram.  We will dispute any complaints made if Bruce MacGregor is found to be swimming in whisky on his own, with nothing left for anyone else.
