Stripped at The Wellington Inn - July 06

The finest acoustic tunes from the North's best bands and solo artists every first and third Thursday of the month. This unique acoustic night showcases the North's finest talent, playing host to quality, original artists of varying styles in one of Hull's most individual bars.

Variety is the essence of the venue and a quintessential part of the Stripped concept.

I'd been warned the previous night that we would be woken up at 4:15am sharp, and barely a second later. Unfortunately, that really was the case, and as exhausted as I was, there was a mammoth 25 mile walk ahead... It's a shame that I'd only managed Read more...

After the thirty-minute ride to the top we were immediately greeted by a stunning panorama of the surrounding countryside which was beautiful beyond words. So pristine and so serene. Well, serene if you can discount the Read more...
