Thread Name: BS: Anyone going to Lechlade folk fest?
Subject: RE: BS: Anyone going to Lechlade folk fest?
How odd - I was, by utter coincidence, in this pub on Friday 28th July - never been in it before in my life and probably never will again! We were on our way to Dorset - called in to see my aunt who lives in Lechlade and went there for a meal. Lovely pub and the meal was fine but we were subjected (only word I can think of) to the most god-awful singing by some chap with backing tapes and crap equipment, which produced a load of feedback. Most people there just wanted a quiet drink by the river, but had this forced on us. I felt sorry for him, because the lack of attention he was being given was embarrassing - but what on earth made him think he had the skills to get up and entertain people??? I just wanted to bang my head on the table! Why do pubs think this sort of thing is going to improve their business?
