Landlord Stewart celebrates 35 years at Bull's Head with three day musical extravaganza

Bands featuring across the weekend include State of Confusion and Oldham legends Lemonade, while DJ Bernie will host the Friday night's celebrations.

Popular pub landlord Stewart Thewlis is holding a mega three-day musical extravaganza to celebrate 35 years as landlord of a famous Saddleworth hostelry.

Stewart, 67, recalls he took on the Bull's Head on King Street in Delph on April 19, 1989 at 10.30am.

Since then he has become one of the community’s well-respected landlords, hosting a business which is has famed for friendliness and strong music strands.

When asked why he first took the pub on, he quipped: *"I was daft for doing it.”

But he then added: “There have been some tough times in the trade and thousands of pubs out there.

"But I’ve no intention of moving.

“It’s tough sometimes - and a big laugh others.

"And you have to be tenacious, so now I want to share my 35 years with a musical milestone.”

The three-day event takes place between April 19-21, 2024, at the Bull's Head pub.

Bands featuring across the weekend include State of Confusion and Oldham legends Lemonade, while DJ Bernie will host the Friday night's celebrations.
