And now the dust has settled on all that stuff and all's right with the world, I can report that the Boar's Head's Saturday night sessions, which were being tried out 'experimentally' in a room (restaurant actually)away from the main lounge will be returning to the lounge area. There will still be the option to retreat to the restaurant if the lounge gets too noisy (though what, exactly, could be noisier than some of the BH sessions I've witnessed I don't know)or if there's a disco or similar in the upstairs room - something which always impinges on the lounge more than anywhere else.
This info received today via e-mail from Dave Thompson.
