A fine session it was too, yesterday. I found myself playing for some of the best step dancers I have ever seen and can now die happy. (but not yet please!) And I finally got to meet Terry Davey too.
The pub's been full every night since it re-opened. Apparently the previous owner only opened it three half-days a week and banned most of of the villagers, or was so rude to them (or his staff were) that they never came back. Hint to anyone planning a pub-to-private-dwelling scam: if you really don't want to run a pub, you shouldn't make it that obvious!
We left about teatime, and more people were arriving, including Miskin Man and Jilly who we literally met in the car park as we departed and they arrived. So I hope the music went on all evening.
There will, amongst other things, be a regular monthly session at the Ship, quite apart from any other ad-hoc events that may occur.
