From the Tin archive. Between 2003 and 2006 this domain carried the website of the Tap ’n’ Tin, a three-floor music pub on Railway Street in Chatham. This page keeps one of its items as a historical record. The magazine that publishes the site today is independent and has no connection with the venue, its owners or promoters; contact details have been removed, and pictures lost from the old site have been replaced with credited photographs.

Top of the Tin was a live band competition held every Sunday, the kind of night where a new local band gets its first real stage, an audience that is not just friends, and a reason to rehearse. The flyer that filled this page has not survived.
