Events are held on an occasional basis that bring together former members,
artists and staff of the Granary Club, affectionately known as 'Gran Fans',
to indulge in a little nostalgia and wallow once again in the
classic rock music that gave the club its legendary status

GRANAREUNITED 10 (Gone but not forgotTEN)

It was our second gig of 2008 and, as always, a fine time was had by all.
Let the pictures tell the story.

GRANAREUNITED 9 (Have the NINE of your life)

Another crowded night for the Lion on Sunday 23rd March 2008 as
Gran Fans enjoyed masses of classic rock from the original Granary DJs.
Super-Ed got the evening off to great start by featuring several live tracks
from the recent Led Zeppelin concert, Ade the First drew many to the dance floor,
Adrian Coleman followed on in the same classic rock style and then Al hosted the
rest of the night with all the DJs picking the best of the floor fillers.
The Lou Reed track "Perfect Day" ended a perfect night!

GRANAREUNITED 8 (Let's celebrEIGHT)

The Golden Lion is now the new home of Granary rock in Bristol - Granary fans
saw to that on the day before Christmas Eve 2007. A packed venue made it a night
to remember. There were DJ sets from ADE THE FIRST, ADRIAN COLEMAN,
SUPER-ED, AL READ and ANDY FOX . Photos show Ed steadying himself
on the mike stand, the Gran Fans on the dance floor and Andy Fox about to
bash Al and Ed's heads together. Such fun!

GRANAREUNITED 7 (The Magnificent Seventh)

Held at the Golden Lion on Gloucester Road in Bristol on Sunday 26th August 2007
it brought together five of the Granary's original seven DJs as well as a good number
of Gran Fans. The best of classic rock presented in true Granary fashion made this a
night to remember and a real reason to make sure that there
will be many more of them to come.

someone will offer to fill it : Al asks the audience to keep the
rhythm going while he changes chord.
No pics of prog rock DJ Super-Ed as he wouldn't let
anyone touch his newultra-trendy mobile phone camera .

GRANAREUNITED 6 (I want your Six)

Many said that this was the best to date, who am I to argue.
DJ Super-Ed opened up with examples of prog rock from bands that had
played at the club in the early days. Adrian Coleman followed on with Al
and Andy Fox rounding off the night. We'll be back at the Golden Lion in August
so watch for details.



		GRANAREUNITED 5 (The Fifth EleMENTAL) Sunday 28th May at the Bierkeller in All Saints Street. It was a good turn out for another get together of classic rock fans. Ed, Andy and Al (The Bristol Union of Rock) took care of business playing a wide range of sounds from the weird and wonderful prog rock of Tonto's Expanding Head Band (thanks Ed!) to the guaranteed floor fillers of Lynyrd Skynyrd and Guns and Roses. Our thanks to the team at the Bierkeller for their help and cooperation. Also a big cheer for the night's guest DJ Ade the First (Copley) whose big grin lit up the stage and choice of the rock classics filled up the dance floor. Al Read, Andy Fox, Ed Newsom .................................Ade the First Copley

GRANAREUNITED FOUR (The Fourmidable)
took place at the new venue -
Joe Public's undeneath Habitat on Queens Road, Bristol
on Sunday 16th April 2006.
DJ Super-Ed's early prog rock set was well received as
was the truly heavy selection from DJ Adrian Coleman.
Al indulged himself in some well remembered Granary favourites
including the NUTZ version of Bob Dylan's "One More Cup of Coffee".
DJ Andy Fox once again proved that he's the master of the turntables
when it come to classic rock by filling the dance floor
till closing time. Good one.


	GRANAREUNITED 3 was titled CHRISTMASSIVE to put all and sundry into a festive mood. It was held at Panache on Sunday 18th December 2005 and was a great success. The evening started with a far out and truly cosmic selection of progressive rock tracks introduced by Super-Ed Newsom who was soon joined by Ade the First Copley who enticed the gathered throng on to the dance floor with some classic tracks including Free, The Who and Bad Company. John Mason put in a short set of solid rockers followed by Al Read and Andy Fox who kept the evening rockin' till the early hours. Here's to the next one!

Took place on
Sunday 23rd October 2005
at Panache in All Saints Street, Bristol when a full complement of Granary DJs
were on hand to re-create the music and the atmosphere of Bristol's legendary rock club.

From left to right John Mason, Andy Fox, Adrian Copley,
Al Read, Glenn Daniel, Adrian Coleman and Ed Newsom.
The awesome sound system of Panache was turned up to stun and
the rock classics that turned you on during the Granary glory years
were revisited. Other guys try to imitate us but the originals are still
the greatest. A great time was had by all with the exception of Al
who emulated crowd surfing without a crowd and spent the following
week resting with a damaged foot. Granary reunion gigs are presented
by former DJs of the Granary Club along with Andy Fox, the main man from
Bristol's other legenday rock venues Tiffany's and Roxy' under the
associated title of The Bristol Union of Rock.

THE FIRST GRANAREUNITED
Saturday 11th June 2005
The first Granareunited was held at Cyrano's,
the bar situated in the cellars underneath theGranary itself.
Granary Club memorabilia adorned the walls and the classic rock
that made the Granaryfamous was revisited with wild abandon!
Five of the seven Granary DJs who featured at the club between
1969 and 1988 were present at the event.
