Interesting comments Hamish.

I've just listened to the whole thing and just after Feargal Sharkey
makes his comments about the cost of live music a pub landlord
speak and says that he was right. He applied for live music and it
cost him nothing extra at all!

Perhaps you've gotten this one wrong mate?

Oh, by the way I know of 3 venues in my local area that have now started
doing live music within the last couple of months, none of them have ever
done any live music at all in the past.

What happened the nationwide decimation of live music you were
predicting?

Look like you might have gotten that one wrong too.

Just curious .
