This weekend, The NCA celebrates the Spirit of Independence
 Harley Davidsons, an ultra-premium bourbon masterclass and high energy rock ’n roll – three perfect ingredients of American culture come together to celebrate Independence Day. The NCA turns itself into the fifty-first state this Saturday 4 July 2009 when a posse of Harleys arrives for an afternoon of live blues music and more; for more details, Contact Us. Our "African" barbecue that is proving so amazingly popular will be available throughout Saturday and Sunday. Read more ...
 At 1:30 pm staff and customers from Silverstone Harley-Davidson in Towcester will roar along the Parade, parking in Regent Street before continuing onto The NCA at around 2:30 pm. Harley-Davidson staff will be on hand at The NCA to show three bikes from their extensive range … Sportster, an entry-level bike with either an 883cc or 1200cc engine; Fat Boy, the iconic H-D bike and Fat Bob, a pure, raw riders’ bike with exposed rear shocks and battery cover.
Throughout Saturday afternoon, we will be entertained by Easy Money - a group of musicians centered around Alan George, Mark Tibenham and Wayne Matthews. They create new sounds around a wide choice of material, playing an eclectic mix of music from T-Bone Walker through to Talking Heads. And, to complement the Spirit of Independence, a stunning range of whiskeys and bourbons will be on offer ... Jack Daniels, Buffalo Trace, Sazerac Rye, Eagle Rare 10 years old, Eagle Rare 17 years old and Sazerac Rye 18 years old.
 With the weather set fair, we continue the Sunday theme of welcoming sounds from around the globe to our garden - this week, from 2:00pm, SUNDAY 5 JULY 2009, TALLAWAH SOUND with Cyrus, Eta and Clarkey. But, before that, we welcome the unbelieveable ASH MANDRAKE on FRIDAY 3 JULY 2009 with his "folk-lore that has all but disappeared" and THE BO DUDLEYS on SATURDAY 4 JULY 2009 with their high energy rock 'n roll and rag time boogey woogey.

The NCA - AWARD WINNING FREE HOUSE!
|
Here, at The NCA, we are delighted to have received a number of awards as we strive to deliver exceptional standards to our customers. These awards are recognition by the industry and we are proud of our successes.
With the real ale revival hitting new heights The NCA is included, for the first time, in the 2009 edition of CAMRA's Good Beer Guide. Out of approximately 55,000 pubs in Britain, only 4,500 of the finest outlets for cask beer can be included in the best selling Good Beer Guide so it is a remarkable achievement for The NCA to be chosen.
But, above all, the award speaks volumes for the quality of our beer in that it is local CAMRA members that have voted for our inclusion in the "drinkers' bible.

.jpg "Image") FRIDAY 23 MAY 2008 - THE BOB BROLLY SHOW was broadcast live from The Stables Bar. In his own unique style, Bob chatted to customers, quizzed guests and played some great live music. Working with one of the West Midlands' most popular presenters, gave us a great opportunity to find out what really happens behind the scenes in local radio. Thank you to Bob, Sarah and Tim for a truly great day ... haste ye back!
 THURSDAY 24 JULY 2008 - always one of the great nights in our annual calendar with a pre-Warwick Folk Festival summer ceilidh and evening of up-tempo folk music hosted by Kenilworth's STEAMCHICKEN. Shropshire caller CATE BANNISTER guided dancers through their steps and Irish dancing featured from six-piece female group SCIORR. The evening concluded when the much talked-about young band The QP's struck up their lively folk-rock and klezmer sound.
