Usually six/seven, Nick. Depends how well the beers going down. There does come a point, old chap, when it becomes a little pointlesss to continue!! Have dusted off Jobsworth to demonstrate how it should be done... Brush up on your "I say, I say, I say.." jokes please, people?

Michael old bean, Wombat and I are going to cry off this afternoon, something to do with not leaving the little club until 2.30 this morning, we are both bushwhacked and a 140 mile round trip just doesn't appeal. Hopefully see you in Whitby at New Year if not before

Thanks to all involved for another smashing session. What a nice pub, a lovely room with good acoustics and an open fire for the (enter name of least-favourite instument here)s. And Specky's going to have Irish Whiskey next time.

Sorry you missed it Nick - see you soon.

What a lovely afternoon! Shame you didn't stick around, SP, Dickie's Uillean pipes sounded wonderful in there. I appreciate that some of you towards the back found it a little cold, but it did drop down to minus six last night, so hopefully that was just an exception.

What did everybody else think? I personally found it cosier than the Sun, more like going back to the Nellies days which I always preferred....a bit more intimate. The acoustics were funny at times. And I know John had great trouble tuning his pipes, but as I said, hopefully that was just due to temperature changes.

Thanks to Specky for a lovely afternoon, and to Carl for being the entertainment!

Pete.

The reeds in my pipes hated the room - yes it was due to temperature and humidity and all of that there technical stuff. I didn't think the accoustics were that good, as soon as there were a number of bodies in, the sound seemed to get sucked up. However, I love the pub and Carl was indeed very entertaining!

Yeah, its wierd that - looking at the room you would think that the sound should be brilliant, but when you fill it up it was a bit flat. Nonetheless, I thought the atmosphere was really nice. Better, in my humble opinion, than the Sun Inn.

Yes the atmosphere was good, I'll give you that.

I particularily liked the overhead storage lockers for guitar cases

I take your point(s) about the sound getting soaked up. So next time maybe we should wear wooden or metal clothes? And of course I was near the fire, so comfortably warm (and acting as a mellodeon guard).

On reflection I did have trouble with acoustics once in the early seventies, when me and John Lennon were singing in a bag.

Was it a jiffy bag?

I have today ordered 50 bags of Oakleys perfumed orthodontic polar crisps in preparation for the forthcoming session, this sunday, 4th January. Hope you all turn up, I can't eat them all myself.

Del

The mix is the same and so are many of the people - perhaps a little more "trad" than we've been doing for the last few weeks at the Sun, but really anything goes.
