The management structure of the company is well aware to MD level that we have been playing there for 2+ years - one of the things it shows in is in the takings.

True to say that over the last two years the biggest takings at the bar have always been on nights when there has been music on (including a friday night where 700+ pints went down - I can name the main culprits who frequent this forum as well (!!)). When you consider that the pub is based in a village with approximately 100 inhabitants (of whom 10 perhaps use it regularly) surrounded by larger villages each with their own pub/pubs and that it does minimal food you can see that anything that provides regular drinking trade is not to be sniffed at.
