Sorry about that, The Falcon at Poulton went through the same a few months ago (after 12 years or more at the same venue), not so much noisy regulars but new Landlord and Lanlady who only wanted Football and to "Sample there own wares!"
However good came out of it as it's moved to a new venue The Plough at Staining, where the Landlord, Staff and regulars couldn't be better for supporting and joining in, so there are still some good venues out there! Hopefully the session/singaround will find one?
With the help of the Landlord The Plough is playing host to The Polyjesters from Canada on their UK Tour (14th Nov).. things can get Better!
