We've lost our jukebox too, and we're gutted. It's an estate pub in Sheffield and the music wasn't so loud you couldn't have a chat, it just added to the atmosphere. It's a bit wierd without it. I'm from Beverley originally and can't imagine Nellies without the live music either.

For anyone who wants to write to the brewery to make their feelings known, the address seems to be:

Humphrey Smith
Sam Smiths Brewery
Tadcaster
North Yorks
LS24 9SB

I realise they've made this policy on economic grounds, and fair enough. However, if enough people choose to go elsewhere as a result, it won't work - so it might be worth pointing that out.
