Waiting Room News
Hello. We've just conjured our very festive Christmas Menu, which we will begin serving from December 6th. (It still seems early to us but 1 or 2 dates are almost fully booked already, so it's probably time to get organised!)
It's a lovely menu - see below - and can be printed off within the menus section of our website. (Larger parties are asked to pre-order their food choices)

Misty's Big Adventure at The Waiting Room
MISTY'S BIG ADVENTURE - NOVEMBER 27TH
But before that we have an enormous event lined up for November 27th! Misty's Big Adventure. Misty's are an 8 piece band from Birmingham led by Grandmaster Gareth, who John Peel once pronounced "The New God". Since 2004, Misty's Big Adventure have released four studio albums to critical acclaim, with the NME calling their last album "a masterpiece".
Misty's account for just about the most memorable night of the past 7 years of Waiting Room Sunday's - and their return, coinciding with their latest exhilarating studio release (featuring Patrick Moore and amongst other great luminaries) - is anticipated as the gig of the year, (which following on from stonking shows by Andre Herman Dune, Malcolm Middleton, Duke Special and Josie Long and others... is saying something.
It's a MUST-SEE! Tickets are just £10, available here
We then have just 3 fantastic Matchbox Cabaret events to the year end, and with just a couple of shows booked in for 2012 (Josie Long - January 29th, and Dave Swarbrick February 19th) we intend to take a break from putting on shows until next autumn.
Here's what's coming up in December:
December 4th. Glass Characters. Bob Beagrie Book launch event with musicians Andy Broderick, Mim O'Malley, and Kev Howard.
December 11th. Flossie Malavialle
December 18th. Carmen and Dick - Christmas Carry On (The official Waiting Room Christmas Debauchery Party)
