Now that a thought Jim is there an uninhabited little Island off the west coast we could re name U Sing Around to attract them. I think Bernie Parry has lost count of how many times he has been told he was singing Man of The Earth wrongly and he wrote it.

In Whitby we have not one but two pubs set aside for people who don't like music and just want to talk. I'm not certain how well this scheme is working but most of the time even during Folk Week you can get a seat and have a quiet think as long as it's not about music.
