Richard Bridge:
you quoted me saying
"But consider a quiet pub with a nice fire burning and a few people sitting about enjoying a snug night of beer and songs or fiddle tunes, say."
Then you enquired where the pub was. I was actually making a very precise, not romanticised, picture of a night in the Greyhound, Penkhull, Stoke-on-Trent with guests Will Duke and Dan Quinn, and hosts the Boat Band and various other locals. I say "guests" but not as in "folk club guests". It was an open evening in the bar with the locals.Will and Dan came from away, that's why I said guests.
    Thaty's the sort of night I like. I take it you do too! Come along some time.
