A day trip to the Travellers Rest Draycott

Yesterday wearing my Delta ladies hat I went with Vicky Martin  to play a gig at the Travellers Rest in Draycott, Derbyshire. Its a really smashing small pub venue that has a really good selection of live music most nights a week. Its was a Small but select gathering but a fun night. Very good beer too. I met Carol Borington  who writes for Blues Matters and who had wandered over the boarder from Nottingham to see the Delta’s. I think she enjoyed it as she will be doing a review. I recommend  visiting the Travellers as it has a brilliant selection of music on each week and they are a really friendly bunch.
