Mike, not wishing to pour more oil on troubled waters. Living in Hull, I would loved to have come to the Jug night but could not because of another session, so please strike me of your list of would be sympathisers who kept away. I am under the impression that you must never have visited another pub other than your own local, for fear of upsettng the regulars. since I doubt that to be the case, and since the regulars would probably have been used to a musical Wednesday at the Jug, it would seem more sense to expand an existing session rather than have an extra night -now that really might drive the locals away. Most folk clubs have websites and are keen to attract more attendees rather than keep them away -whilst I accept that a session may be slightly different I do not think that highlighting a one off evening and accusing Bill in this matter adds any credibility to your views. Also be aware that we do not necessarily eat breath and sleep mudcat. It is an enhancement to our social network for sure, but we do not travel around in packs. Please feel invited this Sunday 2 pm onwards, to the open session at Nellies in Beverley. Come if your a musician, come if you want to listen or come if your a mudcatter-it's all the same to us!
