Dave Illingworth Obit: The Death of the English Pub. (59* d) RE: Obit: The Death of the English Pub. 21 Feb 09

There is a fine pub, THE STAR (in Dorking, Surrey), where one of my bands, DPN+1, play about once every three months.
As well as music (of various styles - but no karaoke or tribute bands), the pub hosts old time music hall, film nights, vinyl nights
(bring your own LPs & 45s), poetry evenings and other entertainment.
The pub is also a regularly changing art gallery for local artists.
An annual pantomime is performed by staff and regulars.
Food is not served, but the landlord recommends various local good
(not junk-food) takeaways, and customers are welcome to eat the food in the pub.
The beer is good and so is the welcome.
This is all a big risk, but it seems to working.
