Help! My mate is convinced at least 3 of the Travelling Wilburys used to visit the Pub WEAVERS ARMS FILLONGLEY North Warwickshire at lunch time as it was “the Local” Pub for Jeff Lynn who allegedly lived in the nearby Village of a Fillongley. Is any of that true? A few pints & months of Micky taking riding on this......

Jeff Lynne did own Walsh Hall in Meriden which is a short car ride from Fillongley (I wouldn't fancy walking it especially after a few drinks) so there is a possibility he did go to The Weavers Arms. If anyone visited Jeff at Walsh Hall I would say George Harrison would be the most likely, so yes it's possible they did visit that pub. The other Wilbuys were more likely to stay in the USA where I believe most of the recording was done with production back in the UK. As for your bet it is very hard to prove, maybe just buy a round of drinks each Walsh HallI am very disappointed in myself that I've never visited the Weavers, me and my mates boasted back in 80s there were very few pubs in the West Midlands and Warwickshire which we had not frequented.
