Around 50 people attended an evening of German beer, pretzels and song in the Tannery, Gilesgate, Hexham on the evening of Wednesday 23rd October. The music was provided by members of  Hexham Village Band who had learnt some new tunes for the evening. This included the famous song called 'Wooden Heart' from the 1960 Elvis Presley film 'G.I. Blues'.

There was a rousing chorus for the songs, since David Oliver, the band's leader, provided verses in German and English and everyone could follow and join in. Publicans Connor and Angela Millican had decorated the pub with the German, Bavarian, Northumberland and Union Flags. There was a guest appearance by Munich-brewed beer, a perfect match for the pretzels.
