Glad you had a good weekend in the Anchor. We did in the Rad too!
Interesting stuff re the Swan.
I think that over the years the Middle Bar and the Radway people have been a bit more organised in putting on both of our reunions. Don't know about the Anchor, but one chap E Mails all the usual suspects about the Rad. Presumably it's the same for the Anchor?
As for the Swan. Music certainly happens in Folk week, maybe it doesn't have that collective will to do a bash in February. I'm sure the landlord would agree to an event like that. After all it's bums on seats, and money over the bar in what could be a quiet time of the year.
And, several Middle Bar T shirt wearing peeps popped into the Rad over the weekend, Hence my chat with Liz the Squeak (Hello!).
So, George, as you say No more bitching. You had fun, we had fun. Don't see a problem with that.
And as has been pointed out, It was also a chance for the organisers of the main festival to get to meet us fringies. (something they couldn't possibly do at the main fest).
So heres to August.
Kind regards
Ralphie
