Situated next to the Queen’s Head in William’s Green, The Snug is an acoustic venue from 4-6pm, then a multi-coloured dancefloor with glitter balls and effects from 6pm till 3am. DJ sets are iunterspersed with SingStar sessions covering a different theme each night with free props to exxagerate the Abba, Eighties, Guilty Pleasures and Queen themes. Set in a triple tipi construction its interior is like the maddest disco in town, a million light years from the outside world.

Here’s the full line-up (as ever, the band on last is at the top of each day’s line-up, with the band on first at the bottom).
