Well, with working away from home so much and, when I am home, simply being too bloody knackered to go out more than once a month (if that) despite having some good pubs in walking distance, I am, perhaps, part of the problem.
However, after last night up at the King's Head, Bonsall, with "No Fixed Abode" and a couple of weeks ago at the Rising Sun, Middleton, with "Norcsalordie," I've at least done something (about 10 or 11 pints worth) towards supporting local live music.
