I am very lucky to be able to play Irish music every Monday night,with some of the finest musicians around,in a very Irish pub in Slough ! The landlord,Tom King,is as Irish as it is possible to be,and he absolutely LOVES his traditional music.The "Audience" in the bar is generally composed of afficionados anyway,so they keep quiet on the whole. If they get a bit 'noisy' however,Tom will stamp loudly on the floor & bellow "Quiet,now !! " at the top of his voice.Once,about a year ago,we played a set of three reels,during which two women sitting at the bar talked shrilly and incessantly. When we had finished,Tom went up to them and said,loudly, " I"d like to remind youse ladies dat dere"s to be no tarkin' while de musicians are playin'!! If youse want to do dat kind a ting,dere"s another bar next door-----in fact,dere"s another fokkin pob down de fokkin road !! ". It was a good ten minutes before ANYONE said ANYTHING to ANYBODY after that !! Crude,I admit,but undeniably effective. So remember--------Monday nights, from 9 pm onwards-The Herschel Arms-Herschel street---Slough !! And NO TARKIN' !!
