The Watering Hole survived the great storm

January 7, 2014

Good afternoon to everyone on this glorious day, defying all odds the watering hole has survived the great storm with nature building 15 ft fortified walls around Perranporths beloved monument 3rd January-Thursday evening was when the main monstrosity started, firing waves at will at the sand banks terrorizing the town and everything that stood in its path. Many areas were flooded, leaving the community in devastation and in complete shock with what had hit the seaside town within the last few hours. A proud community spirit instantaneously combusted with hundreds of people offering a helping hand filling sand bags and doing all what they possibly could do to help the village against surges to come with marvelous efforts put in by all. This was then followed with days of the strong surges bashing continuously against the watering holes defensive system formed by mother nature, taking chunks out slowly losing meter by meter. It was starting to feel like we had a real battle on our hands and that the building was in an enormous amount of danger. BBC radio Cornwall interviewed Tom Job who gave out some valuable information on the storms and how the watering hole had dealt with them in the best manor possible. A link attached(below) showing the damage done to the watering hole in the storm with an interview by owner Bob Job: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=651082998290535&set=vb.150467675018739&type=2&theater As you can see walls reaching up to 15 foot in height have formed a moat around this unique venue, with the wall described by some to be similar to the great wall of China and Hadrians wall The swell on Monday morning was one that you could just stand and watch from the shore in amazement and to believe it, you would’ve had to be there, with owner Bob Job claiming to of never seen a swell with such animosity and size with such frequent periods with the swell over the last 40 plus years of being here. After this statement was made by the old chap, immediate action was taken to remove all benches from the front of the building to stop the sea from using them as a weapon to add to the chaos that had been predicted earlier in the day. Luckily this was the view that we woke up to(below), with the building still miraculously standing as the light shines down on the last morning of the storm, after horrific conditions that we have encountered over the last few days. None the less what has been said is that if the swell from Monday was put together with the size of the 7.7 tides on Thursday evening and the wind was a north easterly wind the watering hole would’ve been in serious danger of being washed away. This is an issue that we now need to resolve and counteract so we are not faced with it in the near future. The ocean has demonstrated to us over the last few days, as it does now and again how powerful and dangerous it can be. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Cornish coast and everybody who has been effected by the horrendous conditions put on by the Atlantic.

Gaz Brookfield- Movember madness

November 28, 2013

WHEN: 30th NOVEMBER @8:30PM Gaz Brookfield plays us some music for the last day of Movember so we can see the moustache out in style He is a solo acoustic musician based in Bristol. His songs are instantly accessible every-man tales of life, love and everything else in between. Since the start of his solo career Brookfield has had the pleasure of gigging and/or touring with Frank Turner, Newton Faulkner, The Levellers, The Ataris, Mike Herrera (MXPX), I Am Kloot, Miles Hunt, Dodgy, Jim Lockey and The Solemn Sun, Dave McPherson, and many more. In 2010 he won Acoustic Magazine’s Singer Songwriter of the year competition, earning him, among other prizes, a slot on the Big Top stage at the Beautiful Days Festival. This led to loads of other festival appearances over that summer, and bookings for even more in 2011 and 2012, firmly cementing him as a regular on the UK festival circuit. In December 2011, he became the first and only unsigned solo act to sell out The Fleece, Bristol. He has done this twice more since then. Gaz recently toured the UK’s O2 Academies with The Levellers, where he broke all the venue records for numbers of albums sold by a support act every night. (Upwards of 60 albums sold per night). This secured him yet more tour dates with them in Europe in May 2013 and the UK in June, July and August 2013. With over 800 gigs under his belt to date, he continues to tireless tour the UK, proving that the “journeyman” title is more than a simple metaphor. https://www.facebook.com/gazbrookfieldmusic
