We are at the Thompsons Arms in Flaxton now rather than that nice Sam Smiths Blacksmiths Arms pub that you played at.

As an aside it is now a very sad shadow of it's former self.

Lindy - whose wedding you played at - left the pub a while back having had enough and it is now being run by reliefs who couldn't give a #*%& and it is very little used. Apparently Sam Smith's are having great difficulty finding someone to run it. With no proper kitchen to cater and no chance of refilling the pub with music etc and with drinking and driving being what it is these days it is not a great proposition.

Ben (former landlord) and I and some friends who have very fond memories of those good musical times had an evening of reminiscences about it the other night when they came round to our house the other night for a gathering. Still I suppose we wouldn't have still have our livers left...

Sad.

Much too young to retire, Mick. ;)
