Scratchers, under the inspired management of Neale Berwick, has provided free music featuring a host of talented musicians and bands for over 15 years.
This very special weekend marks the end of Neale's long and enthusiastic tenure.
It's our opportunity for musicians and music lovers alike to personally thank Neale and wish him well for the future.
  There Was Music at the Scratchers before Neale came along

Local newspaper the Surrey Ad ran an article (11th October) highlighting the current uncertain future of Scratchers.
The paper reported on the strength of support for the venue, and quoted the brewery Shepherd & Neame's encouraging response to an enquiry as to the pub's future.
"The Three Lions in Farncombe is closed on a temporary basis while we carry out a £160,000 redevelopment. We look forward to welcoming customers back in time for Christmas."

Scratchers continues to be hosted by Germaine, the new landlord at The Freeholders in Farncombe, who is an active supporter of live music with two music pubs under his wing in Chichester.

January 26, 2014 As you know the pub has been undergoing an extensive refurbishment and we are very pleased to announce we will be opening on Wednesday 22nd January followed by an official opening night party on Saturday 25th featuring Natalie Ross. We are also very pleased to confirm that we will be looking to continue the long tradition of live music at the pub with regular gigs on Friday and Saturday nights.
