It’s a first for the pub – already renowned for its support of local events and artists. “We just decided to have a go at staging something on our own,” said landlord, James Broad, who only took over the reins at the pub in March this year.

Elaine Dennison from the Derbyshire folk band, Blind Badger, is helping co-ordinate the music line-up which will be made up entirely of local bands.

“The Coach is very much about highlighting local talent and giving them a platform,” she said. “Its popular Monday night open music sessions are all about giving talented musicians a voice and we wanted Coachstock to be an extension of that.”
