Well it's not news to me. Like I said before it's entirely up to the landlord or landlady and it's very welcome when it happens. Maggie and I have had a free drink in Monk's when running the iced gems sessions at the Beverley.

But I'm sure that we're in the same boat as Mick. We'd be there anywhere (but like Mick says it's an additional commitment to run a session each month) and anything provided by the pub is very welcome, but not the reason for going.
