Art For Art's Sake 9 July 2015

The Eel Pie Club, The Cabbage Patch, 67 London Road, Twickenham TW1 3SZ, will be hosting an event tonight to benefit The Prostate Cancer Charity in memory of Art Wood (brother of Rolling Stone, Ronnie - our Vid Of The Day) who was a great musician and artist and a great supporter of The Club in its early days and his band, The Art Wood All-Stars often featured Ronnie as a special guest! Art died from Prostate Cancer in 2006 and his birthday would have been on 7th July.
