Following on from the original post

The new manager at the Bushel and Strike 'phoned me this evening (October 2nd) and cancelled our booking for the Winter Sing. Pleas about late notice and advertising already paid for fell on deaf ears.

Despite initial confirmation from the new owner that we could go ahead, it is apparent that his newly appointed manager does not want his newly refurbished gastropub sullied by beer-swilling folkies, even if there would have been 60+ of them prepared to spend several hundred pounds on food and drink over what will probably be a quiet winter weekend.

May his beer go rancid and his food decompose uneaten!

If anyone can suggest a more sympathetic venue, we're open to suggestions, but I fear that there may not be enough time to rescue the 2007 Winter Sing.

A shame, to say the least, but there it is. "Pactum meum verbum" no longer obtains!
