Well said Rog.

The reason people come to you is that they look on you as an elder statesman......!

As you know whatever is sorted I will support any move to keep music live.


From my own and others point of view, there is a wish to continue with "Monks" I have had no constructive opposition to this.

The ambiance in the "Sun" is great and it holds many wonderful memories for me.It would be a shame to lose that.

I have been drinking and singing in the "Tiger" a few times and found it to be a friendly hospitable pub.It has a great range of well kept beers and as the landlord says "it is off the beaten track for those who like to move from pub to pub"

He does seem very "Folk friendly" and has booked "Punch The Horse" for a coupla gigs.

I do take your point about us'ns being a collective and down to all hands to decide were to spend their few bob and their time,that is as it should be.

It is also worth saying that when mentioning the activists we do not forget to include those who turn out week after week to listen to us lot sing and play. There is a few who now have the confidence to come and sing/ play who came first to just sit and listen.
