I like a small pub to drink in, too! But this poor little place is called upon to be concert hall, dance hall, and restaurant, and needless to say has no 'side room' for holding singers clubs in. Hence the 'but small'.

I can only imagine the little hassles we will be running into as far as the 'obstreperous & boring'. But so far, the song circles we have had at our annual festival have mostly been pretty wondrous things. We need them way more often.
