Should point out it is down the lane next to the petrol station, so you can't see it from the road. You have to seemingly turn onto the forecourt before you can see the lane.

Hello Mr Happy. What a good name. I was listening to 'Happiness, happiness, the greatest gift that I possess' last night on the radio. I thought I'd learn it for singaround. That'd be different.

Your website links to the place - very interesting.

This should be take you there too:

Does anyone know if any of the people who used to go to the folk club at the "Steam Coach" pub nearby (Boxmoor Common) 20 odd years ago are still around the folk scene (Sue Farthing)?

I'd still be able to give you a lift Sunday though

Cheers Ross. See you Sunday then. I hope other people come on Thursday. And yes Jim Martin, Sue is still around, she did a set at The Second Sunday Club at The Rose and Crown in St Albans a few weeks ago, but I have not seen her since. And nice idea Bugsy we will be talking to the land lord about booking guests after the lovely Summer. Which reminds me I have my Towersey tickets all paid for. YIPPEEEEEE. Anyone else going??

If I still worked in Hemel, which I don't, I'd come along. I used to drink in that pub 10+ years ago and even worked it into a short story published in Interzone in 1999... chiefly because of the confluence of road, canal, rail and air (planes stack for Heathrow overhead).

Nice one Nick. I will read that story with intrest and Ross will write a song about it I should think. Anytime you are in the area come and say hello. There will alway be a Folkaholick of some kind playing and singing in the pub from now on, last Thursday 8.30pm til 11.00pm and last Sunday 4.00pm til 7.00pm until we get chucked out. Derick and I were asked not to sing anymore at The Rose and Crown in St Albans the other month. It may have something to do with me spending the three hours before hand at The Lower Red Lion. A REAL REAL ALE PUB. But that is another story. TTFN

Thanks for that "Unicorn Man", please pass on my good wishes to Sue if you see her in the near future. Tell her I'm now living in W.Clare, Eire and if she's ever in this area to look me up, together with any of the old "Steam Coach" cohorts!

Thanks.

Cheers Cathy. There were three of us at one stage, luckly I took my guitar with me and went though some of my old one's. Lot's of people in the pub so that was good. Andy with Guitar who works at Rickmansworth during the week came and will be back. He lives far off and goes home at weekends though. And a local man who is in a band, had a jam with us. He should be back as well. So see you all on Sunday. TTFN
