Another massive post for you today – lots coming up in Bermuda:
As mentioned previously, Thursdays are Theme Night with Will Black at Hog Penny. This week, there will be prizes to be won at Music Trivia Night where you can test your skills through 5 rounds of music trivia performed by Will Black, in addition to your favourite song requests. This week’s Saturday night guest will be Keith White for Black / White Night. Will Black and Keith White promise to entertain you by performing the best rock music possible all night long, swapping acoustic and electric guitars throughout. Ladies, they also promise to be wearing tight T-Shirts. There is no cover charge for any of the nights. For more information, contact Hog Penny at 292-2534.
Hope you all had a lovely Easter weekend, full of kites, hot cross buns, fish cakes and whatever else makes you happy. The Bermuda events calendar is definitely starting to fill up for the summer – here are the newest additions: Google
Will Black is taking a mini-vacation until Thursday but never fear, the show will go on with Tony Brannon and Mike Hind taking over as hosts for Open Mic Night at Hog Penny tonight. Will Black will return on Thursday with a Triple Tribute featuring complete sets of music in tribute to The Beatles, Creedence Clearwater Revival and Tom Petty, performed live. This week’s Saturday night gig will be UK Pub Night with Will Black performing your favourite modern UK hits from Oasis, Coldplay, Adele, Pulp, Radiohead, The Verve, Snow Patrol Muse and more, plus singalong with the classics from 60s British invasion to New Wave 80s. There is no cover charge for any of the nights. For more information, contact Hog Penny at 292-2534. .
Chin up, the week’s almost over already! Hope you all have a wonderful holiday weekend with lots of fun times with family and friends. I will definitely be indulging in lots of chocolate after a very long Lent! Here is what’s coming up in Bermuda:
Heavenly Blessings Nursery & Preschool are hosting a Good Friday Potluck at Hamilton SDA Church on Wednesday, April 16th. On the menu is codfish cakes, hot cross buns, Spanish rice, macaroni and cheese, coleslaw and mixed vegetables with gingerbread, pound cake and banana bread for dessert. Tickets are $14 in advance and $16 at the door. For more information, or to pre-order, contact 737-0555.
I have just been cheered up by the realisation that there is a public holiday for Good Friday next week – can’t believe I completely forgot until now, especially since it’s one of the nicer public holidays. I guess I’d better get started on making my kite, and also on buying a real kite for when my home-made kite ends up a hot mess. If you’re looking for Bermuda Easter weekend events, you’ve come to the right place – and the summer events are starting to come in too…
