The Junction Inn is a traditional Pub in Otley, West Yorkshire and besides serving up a wide range of fine ales, they also have Live Music 3 days a week. The roaring fire will keep you warm during the winter months, whilst Maurice Grumbleweed on a Sunday evening (from 6pm), Folk Music on a Monday Night, and Live Bands on a Saturday Night offer the best variety of Entertainment in town. The Junction is probably a 2 minute walk from Otley Bus Station, with a regular Bus service to Leeds and Ilkley.
Maurice Grumbleweed was a founder member of the nationally famous and Multi Award winning Comedy Band – The Grumbleweeds, most of whom were from Leeds. They formed in the 1960’s, and following success on the TV Talent Show ‘Opportunity Knocks’ they toured the UK playing to packed houses through the 1970s.
Spotted at Batley Variety Club by Radio Producer Mike Craig, they were commissioned to produce a Radio Programme on Radio 2, and such was it’s popularity that it continued throughout the 1980s and into the 1990s. Maurice left the Band in 1998 and spent some time running a Gallery in North Yorkshire, but the call of Show Business eventually drew him back, and whilst his schedule now is a little less hectic, he’s lost none of his Musical prowess or Comedy timing. He is a firm favourite both at his residency at The Blues Bar in Harrogate, and The Junction in Otley (Sunday early Evening) but also with the Cruise Ship Work which he particularly enjoys.
There will be a Show from Maurice Grumbleweed on Sunday, 25th May from 6pm.
