  FIR PLAY
   

Tonight's line-up is a little different from last time - we hope you'll be glad to hear that tonight will feature Tony Gibbons, John Murphy, Liam Murphy and Steve Higham - three of the original members of Garva plus a son of Garva (Liam Murphy)!! It's also possible there may be another musician, yet to be confirmed.

STOP PRESS!! The other musician is now confirmed as none other than Kevin Webster - so that brings the ex-Garva count up to four!

So... you can bet it will be a storming evening at Lymm Tennis Club - be sure you have a ticket!! Better turn up early if you want a good seat! Maybe come a few days early, and bring a sleeping bag!

PLEASE NOTE: a special request from Lymm Tennis Club:

The limited car parking at the Club will be very busy.
Please use the Davies Way Car Park (2 mins walk away):
walk out past library, turn left, over mini roundabout and first left, or use Brookfield Road.

Please do NOT park in the Private Resident's access before the Club entrance.

Many Thanks.
