No. The bar in Dickensworld. I was today asked by the Managing Director if anyone wanted to do some casual folking there over the next few days, and if the Bums were so minded I might be able to discuss a fee (probably not big by "performing artist" standards) with him.

The admittedly mock ambience of the venue is good, and a regular weekly slot might be on the cards (but I don't want to be running it).

I have four slight reservations about a regular do there:

1. We'd probably get "bumped" if a bigger/better thing was on on any particular evening
2. Most people in there today seemed a cut above the usual foul and vulgar C(h)atamite - but wil it last?
3. Would it compete with and harm the existing local things - the Good Intent and the 3 in Rainham?
4. The "draught" beers on are keg (but do include Shitfire), although there is bottled Shitfire and bottled Summer Goldings and a range of crap like lagers - and the prices are TOP pub prices, over 3 quid for said bottles.

Let's all discuss it at the Good Intent tomorrow. I can snooze into my beer in conseqence of this 0230 insomnia...
