To recap. Music/singing in the bar is neither banned or guaranteed, just left to the landlords discretion. The organisers wished to acknowledge this. Nothing sinister, nothing unfriendly, just organisers and landlord working together to keep EVERYONE happy.

For the record. Last year, music and song did happen in the bar ..... and in the skittle alley..... and in the pub garden!
and the landlord said PLEASE come back next year. How unfriendly of him!!!

cheers
