Family: Slots of Memories

NEWCASTLE rock stalwarts THE SLOTS have been familiar faces at the Family Hotel for the past 15 years.

While the Slots, which play the Family on Saturday, are likely to remain on the hotel's books, a new range of bands will be introduced by the new owner.

PETER WANSEY, who recently bought the hotel from GARY WATSON, is planning to bring in a new style of music to the pub.

Currently renovating the venue, Wansey said he would be changing the hotel's entertainment to attract the surfie/rugby union crowd.

The revamped hotel is rumoured to undergo a name change as well.TE
