Baratxuri Manager Jamie Preston showing off awards

It’s not surprising that the talented teams behind the great Ramsbottom Restaurants we have like The Eagle and Child, Baratxuri and Lavanter to name just three, win awards with the hard work and dedication that they put in.

This time the multi award winning is down to Baratxuri. They won Out of town venue of the year and Casual Restaurant of the year in the Manchester Food and Drink Festival 2017 awards.

Last year it was The Eagle and Child and Levanter who brought home the silverware.

Amazing work for all involved and thank you for bringing home yet more awards for our fantastic town of Ramsbottom!

International Podcast Day 2017

It’s that time of year again and I couldn’t let this date pass without mentioning it.

Every year on September 30th we celebrate International Podcast Day. I personally consider this as not a day for pushing your own podcast, but a day to celebrate podcasts themselves.

Obviously I hope you already listen to This is Rammy but that’s not why I’m writing this. The purpose of this post is to convince you that if you’ve never listened to a podcast before, to give it a try. What better day than International Podcast Day?

This week I had the honor of being able to interview the fantastic Neil Arthur of the band Blancmange. This came around as Blancmange are playing Darwen Library in October.

If you are just “tuning in” for the Neil Arthur interview, to give you a little bit of background about the podcast, This is Rammy was started in 2014 as a means of sharing some of the fantastic things that go on in and around my town of Ramsbottom.

I’m a Ramsbottom resident and I produce this podcast to help spread the word, which you can help by sharing this episode with your friends, family and anyone you might happen to meet on the street.

Where Blancmange will be playing in Darwen is at it’s shortest driving route just 10 miles from Ramsbottom and you can get there in under 30 minutes by car.

Fairly short episode this week to make you aware that this week is Love Your Park Week in Nuttall Park and there is oodles to do for all the family. If you’ve felt a little stuck inside these last few weeks, brave the weather and head on down to Nuttall Park where there is everything from Nordic Walking to Outdoor Crafts.

I’m a little late in making you aware of this, I can only blame the day job for that I’m afraid but if you are around Ramsbottom this week please do come down to Nuttall Park.

Love your park week started on the 5th of August 2017 and will continue until Sunday the 13th of August.
