On Sunday 6th December Bob Dylan has a day off from his residency at London’s Royal Festival Hall… So what better way to spend an afternoon and early evening than to come to “The Betsey Trotwood”, a characterful Victorian pub in the heart of Clerkenwell in central London at 56 Farringdon Road, EC1R 3BL, where Michael Gray will be presenting “Bob Dylan’s Greatest Rejected Album Tracks”?
Michael’s talk will feature surprise Dylan audio and rare footage, and he’ll be discussing and playing his choice of the greatest tracks Dylan ever left off his own albums – not outtake versions of album tracks, but whole songs Bob recorded and then rejected… and yet, as we know, they’re still major works.
Michael’s presentation will be followed by some renowned Betsey regulars playing a miscellany of songs from Dylan’s back pages. These will include Jason Umbrellabird, Rob Corcoran, Ben Phillipson, Mike Perrett and more…
The Betsey Trotwood is a great pub, combining the joys of the traditional pub with an eclectic range of cultural shenanigans and a first class drinks selection.

The multi-award-winning museum celebrates the rich musical heritage of Coventry and Warwickshire in all its forms. Although the museum is home to the entire output of 2 Tone Records (every single released by the label is available to view), it covers much more besides.
Opened in 2010, the Coventry Music Museum is the vision of music historian Peter Chambers and journalist Julie Chambers, who both serve as directors. The museum received its 40,000th visitor in 2023. The Dylan exhibit will be in place until the end of 2025.
