Hi there, my names Rob and I drink at Nellies a Sam Smiths pub in beverley.

Its propa crap as all music has been banned even to the extent that my friends ghetto blaster was removed from the pub. The duke box has gone and there is even rumours that the fruit machines quiz machines and pool tables will have to go - how pants is that.

I talked to the land lord and he said he wasnt sure but the loss of music (including the folk and jazz clubs which have been going for over 30 years ((last ones at the end of this month)) but he did say that it might be a protest from the brewery about the increase in prices of entertainment licences which has allegedley occured.

This is just speculation but from what i have heard it is definatley public entertainment licence related.

The whole situation is a crock of **** as now everyone sits in a quiet room and when the conversation stops there is an eerie silence with nothing but the extractor fan for ambience.

If any 1 knows of anything about licences please post as there may be light at the end of the currently boring sam smiths tunnel.
