Friday

•Shelby’s Elbows will be playing a mix of your favourite songs across all genres at the Ropemakers pub on West Street, Bridport, from 9.15pm.

Shelby’s Elbows are an acoustic duo, made up of Bridport musicians Martin P. Davies and Phil Jeffs. Formed after meeting in various open mic nights in 2008, Shelby’s Elbows have developed into a locally well-known entertainment duo, playing a variety of instruments and producing an instantly recognisable sound that surprises people when they discover that there’s only two people making it. Starting out as a covers band, they are now writing and recording their own original music from a wide variety of influences gained from their covers set – from Nirvana to Neil Young, Seal to Skynyrd, Dire Straits to Turin Brakes and anything in between.

The models have been made by local model-making enthusiasts and kindly lent to the centre.
