Unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond our control, Soloasis will no longer be performing at The Skinner’s Arms this Saturday evening.
We know many of you were looking forward to the night and we’re genuinely sorry for any disappointment this may cause.
The good news is we’ll still be open as usual, showing live international football on our screens, serving great drinks, and keeping the good times going until 1am.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support. We hope to welcome Soloasis to The Skinner’s Arms at a future date.
