I heard today in a local pub that as of yesterday Samuel Smiths pubs had banned ALL music - including juke boxes / behind bar music / live / everything.

Does anyone know if this is true?

Be aware - this is based on ONE pub so there may be more/less to it than this.

I AM NOT TRYING TO START A RUMOUR - just seeking clarification. I will phone the brewery a little later as - as a few of you know - we sing in a pub locally and I would like to know before I turn up tomorrow and get told I can't!
