On this weeks episode of This is Rammy I had the pleasure of speaking to local artist Adam Rowlinson. I set off for his house on a dark midweek night in October to record the interview, and Adam was extremely welcoming.

It’s here again, the Ramsbottom Pie Festival. One of my favourite of all Ramsbottom Festivals, mainly because I’m a pie lover.
Now in it’s third year the pie festival promises pies, pies, pies and cakes, and other things, but mostly pies.
See the event page here for some more information on what’s going on.
Whilst you’re there, if your event is not listed, or if you know of any events that are not listed, let me know and I’ll add them to the events page.
Here’s a couple of photos from last years festival:
Today I went to the “Race up the Rake” also known as the Rake Hill Climb and streamed the race. Sadly, the periscope stream lost about 45 minutes worth of footage, however if you were watching live, you’d have seen it all.
The Rake Hill Climb is a yearly event put together by the Lancashire Road club with £1000 for the winner.
The race starts just outside the library.

In this weeks episode of This is Rammy, not only do you have a fresh new intro and outro to the podcast, but I also got a free beer off my guest. That’s a first for the show too. The beer Matt gave me was a Yankie Lip Smacka, and it was delicious.
Matt Holmes is owner and head brewer at RammyCraft, this week, I ask him how he got started in brewing beer.
Ramsbottom is undergoing a facelift (some would say constantly), specifically Bridge Street. It was supposed to have several new premises opening however it would appear that Havana Cafe and Bar is no longer going to be opening, meaning that W.D Scholes is back on the market again for someone to invest in. The following businesses however are WELL on their way to opening and have made huge leaps towards opening day.
You might recall from the interview I had with Lucy that Little Goody New Shoes is opening soon. The signs have been installed, stock is rolling in and the first steps into becoming a shoe shop have been made.
Another shop open during the day is a welcome to Ramsbottom given the recent boom in evening establishments such as Bars and Restaurants, speaking of which.
