The Dove used to be 'no music' and was used for people to escape for a while. We used to have silent ceilidhs - all done without music..... those were the days! Then came new landlords, the Irish conversion and muzak (Irish of course). Now more landlords and back to a more conventional pub but I believe music now happens. Good beer last year, lets hope so still. Don't know where the 'quiet' pub is now.

As for the Bedford, in the 'other' room (adjacent to the concert room) there will almost certainly be American oldtime most of the week - with perhaps a little (but not too much) bluegrass. Watch your feet when the flatfooters get going, them bu***rs will trample anything - particularly if it has bellows........ Favourite Key is A or will be if I've got anything to do with it.
