Bear - Anvil Rock Bar Bournemouth

Ryan Mills - Aka Bear - is the General Manager of Anvil Rock Bar in Bournemouth, UK.
I caught up with him back in June when he and his partner, Lara, were recovering from the after effects of Covid-19. 

 We spoke about the bands that have played at Anvil, which big names have dropped by over the years and the breaking bands that have played secluded gigs on Anvil's underground stage.

  Hear the story of the snakes and open flames, the band that drove their own audience away and how the timing has to be right for Anvil to re-open as life returns to normal after the pandemic.

Also, listen out for a stellar Wookie impression....
