I thought it might be interesting to give an update.

We did the above mentioned gig, all three dates, and went out of our way to be accomodating and, of course, entertaining. My husband even hauled sound around so that we could make the owner's scheduled dates and times.

Although no responsibility was taken for the misbooking, the guy paid us a tip (not too common in the pub scene), and told us that he would like to book us regularly in the future.

So, there you go...
