Will will. Will will. ROCK YOU!

#Carlisle what an asset you have. Yes the Old Fire Station is firing on all cylinders with sell-out nights of funk, soul, comedy and more but you’ve also got the ace Will Morgan and his lovely family bringing it to you too – lucky ducks. What a warm and friendly night we had at #OFScarlisle last night with some even warmer chilli and curry from local legends Maggie Elliot and the Three Pillars. We should have known then that the number 3 was about to be important.
Will motored us through his career, from painfully shy schoolboy to actual cowboy to helping turn around 9 failing dealerships before taking one of his many scary decisions (more on that below!) and buying the Old Fire Station. Will clearly believes good things come in 3s. He noticed the three things that always seemed to be lacking in failing businesses were…

– leadership
– vision
– training

And his 3 Ts to help sort it out…
– Train
– Transfer
– Terminate

So what drives someone from the motor trade to running an iconic venue? Other than a nice set o’wheels Will credits his approach to risk as being helped by doing three things each year that he’s scared of. From doing stand up comedy, to zorbing and abseiling and anything in between. Honest, funny and engaging we doff our fire hats to Will and what he and his fam are achieving together. Thanks to everyone who came and especially the Morgans for having us – we WILL be back!

PS: Save the date (Wed 8 Dec) for the INFAMOUS Christmas Quiz, bigger and brie-ter than ever…it’s gonna be cheesy and oh so much fundue. In a weird way.
