Went north of Ringmer, about twenty miles, and the only beer on hand pump was Tetley's. I didn't realise The North started so soon.

Southern jessies. Tetleys is mass produced tat for tourists. Come and get some real beer in Sheffield.

Kelham Island. Wentworth. Sheffield Brewery. Abbeydale. Bradfield Brewery......................

I would not go to a singer's night knowing there would be some dross. No matter how large or small the fee. I no longer go to Singer's Night's for the reasons explained. Despite the added attraction of you playing the fiddle. Tell me how long did you practice the fiddle before making a public appearance? And how long before making a public appearance in front of a paying audience.

I doubt if anyone paid money to listen to your earliest scrapings. I think the same apprenticeship should apply to singers and it so rarely does.
