Rufus said: “Over the last few years I’ve played a lot of gigs at The Disappearing Chin and I’m looking forward to playing there again while I’m home for Christmas.

"Sadly The Chin is closing its doors for good on Christmas Eve but not before one last day of music on Sunday 22nd December.

"There will be loads of talented folk playing from 4pm until close."

The small and welcoming independent bar, run by husband and wife team, Jack and Hannah, has built up a loyal customer base over the last six years for its array of selected ales, wines, cocktails and food in a friendly and cosy atmosphere.

The bar’s owners said: “We have adored opening and running the Chi

"But it’s a very tough environment out there for many small businesses and we have decided to close our doors so we can focus on our new family.”
