Mayor cuts ribbon to kick-start live music at pub venue
Sleaford’s newest pub invited the town’s mayor along for a long-awaited official opening, now that covid restrictions have relaxed.
Having quietly opened earlier this year in June, after the latest lockdown, bosses at The Ivy on Southgate decided it was time to make a song and dance about their latest introduction of live music events to the venue.
Last week they invited mayor Coun Robert Oates to cut a ribbon to mark the occasion and to kick things off they are planning a folk festival featuring around 90 bands and musicians on November 6 and 7 with the help of Steve and Julie Mclelland of The Band from County Hell.
“We are excited to host this,” said managers Emma Woods and Bev Sambridge.
