Coldplay played a secret gig at the Ring O'Bells pub in the Somerset village of Compton Martin near Blagdon, England last night (16th December) to an audience of a hundred people in an apparent warm-up show for the forthcoming Under1Roof gig on Thursday.The setlist according to photos was: Yellow, Clocks, The Scientist, God Put A Smile Upon Your Face, Viva La Vida, Charlie Brown, Paradise, Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall and Christmas Lights.Full discussion on this secret event is at the Coldplay Live forum now [thanks cleeson7, Tash, The Master, gai, TraceOddity, Lodder]Cleeson7 wrote:
Locals were reported to have been turned away from the Ring O'Bells pub because Coldplay were performing, however an article from ITV suggested that the pub confirmed that all the 'real regulars' were allowed to stay and watch. The MailOnline however, posted a different slant. They said:
I'm told locals @Ring_O_Bells involved in big argument after being "kicked out" and told to drink in another pub because @coldplay were in

The Ring o' Bells pub, near Blagdon, is part owned by Miles Leonard, the Chairman of Parlophone, Coldplay's record label. It follows a similar surprise by Kylie Minogue at the freehouse in 2010.Parlophone tweeted this:And even this from Xylobands inventor Jason Regler, back on the scene:Wow!! @coldplay just casually playing Ring O' Bells #onlypubinthevillage pic.twitter.com/TdB1EzxIRf
