CYCM 29/03/14: Bath Night in the Afternoon

Matlock-Bath-which-is-actually-seperate-from-the-town-of-Matlock-but-let’s-ignore-that FC, are the guests to Gigg Lane this week. Meanwhile, in the salubrious surroundings of Starkies Bar, CYCM hosts its own guests: band The Hart Room, and author and journalist Mark Metcalf, who’ll be talking about the Orgreave Truth and Justice Campaign.

With 2014 marking the thirtieth anniversary of the Miner’s strike, we’re thrilled to announce author and journalist Mark Metcalf will be coming along to talk about the Orgreave Truth and Justice Campaign. Mark, who writes for Unite the union and Big Issue, has penned thirteen football books and is set to publish ‘Images of the Past: The Miners’ Strike’, will be discussing the infamous Battle of Orgreave.

Music this week comes in the form of rock and roll tune-age from Mancunian trio The Hart Room. Now we don’t have that much info on them, but you can have a look at their website here, and also find them on Facebook. What we can tell you though, is we have it on good authority they’re downright smart, and they made the effort to come down and visit us last time round to see what we’re all about. Which was lovely.

And finally, we’ve been inundated with requests from people who didn’t get to see Stu From The Bay’s new programme/fanzine holders last time. Fear not though, because they’ll be back again, and if you ask nicely, Stu will allow you to pose for a photo with them. You can also pick up the usual hats, t-shirts and books from the best market stall outside of Bury market (but still in Bury).

So that, my friends, is this week’s Malcolms. It’s another jam packed edition, so make sure you get in nice and early, and settle yourself in for an afternoon of music, history and beery sustenance. And if there are any cockernee Reds in attendance, and you hear them say “Matlock Baaarf???. Forgive them. They know not what they say.
