Hi Folks! A few businesses and pub owners have accepted the invitation to come along for a quick chat on Friday so enough to get something started! Which allows us to say if you want to join us just for the music alone then either PM us or contact Fiona at the Club and she will add you and your party to the guest list. 4 great acts and FREE ENTRY! Cheers!

Hi Folks! One last Event to get an audience to! We've got 20 pairs of tickets for Owners, Managers and Staff of LOCAL BUSINESSES including, Shops of all descriptions, Pubs, Cafes, Hotels, Restaurants, Food Outlets, Social & Sports Clubs and any other ACTIVE COMNMUNITY GROUPS within the town. There is 1 caveat in that it would be really helpful if you were VERY interested in being part of a committee to look at how Renfrew can create a sustainable ANNUAL MUSIC FESTIVAL and for that reason we will keep a few spaces open for any local musicians or promoters and graphic designers. Any thoughts on this post appreciated but the intention is present an Economic Impact Survey from Prestfest Prestwick 2016 and to explore some avenues of financing & self-financing a Festival. If you could PM us with the name of your Business and interest we'll get back to you. Cheers! Drew

Pear Heid The Warrior
Hart St bound
Wheels his barra
To a mocking sound
Hedgin' a wedge from the scrap he'd found
40 years ahead of his time in the ground

Red cheeked Ronnie
Sells the Evenin' Times
Wi the cheeriest demeanour
And the simplest lines
But Ronnie wisnae simple
Tho he showed some signs
A man of no conflicts
Covets or crimes

Ma da's whole world is one street long
From bowling, bookies, Mill tae hoose
It only takes wan song
Works day back and nightshift
So we can feast
Then he takes his trade
To the Middle East
And the street which was our world before
Becomes part of ma story
Of Linwood No More

Ma Uncle Andy sings the days away
Twenty 3 cross doubles
And a treble each day
Wi an Ay, Tee Tee an' an Aye an' a naw
And a F**k EE TEE if ye goat on his craw
An angle's voice
Heart and soul
He always helped me oot
When the world got cold
A toilet slip tho the fall wasn't far
He lost more than his voice
In the Pondy Bar

It was a family affair at the Johnstone Broo
Every second Wednesday in the Box B Queue
Uncles, Aunties Cousins
Ma Dad n sister too
Signing for wur supers
Then choosin' what tae chew
But no shame attached
It was a due ye were due

Just 5 years prior it's aw prosper and thrive
Wi the pubs overflowing
And the socials alive
But when Mill and Plant's machines turn cold
And the choice becomes whether to wither
Or live or leave the fold
Decay destroys from safe within
Ah felt Old Linwood lose it's grin

A lifetime later do ah feel the same?
Ah was raised by Linwood
And a thousand names
The Village was a wonder
And Napier St hame
And our doors were all open
To any who came
Any other life would've been bereft
But in another life
Ahd've never left
And respect to those who stayed, the core
And never accepted
THAT LINWOOD'S NO MORE.
