Yes indeed they are - in particular the Traveller's Rest at Oughtibridge.

In fact in 1994 a new landlord decided he didn't want the carols and we migrated to a nearby boozer (The Clock Inn) which was glad to have an extra three grand or so through his tills at Xmas time. (I say "we" but I am not a regular, just know the people).

There is also another pub not too far away that has a carol session which is not at all publicised and they might take it on....

If it happens then I will try and post appropriately. And I hope to see a few of the people involved at the end of the month. Clearly an appeal to Sam Smiths will not be heeded and is a waste of time and paper.

Best regards,
