Gaunt Pudding and Cane Slide were the first  'Alternative' bands playing all original material to play the Kings Arms. Up until then mainly Country or cover bands played there.  A Thursday night was booked as an experiment. Here is the poster from the gig, dated 07/12/1995. It featured a map as most people didn't know where the King's Arms were.
