I just wanted to say that I think the Hertford session is a great idea and very enjoyable. I wasn't there when it got crowded but am a bit worried about folk saying there were too many people there who weren't regulars. Surely it's the music that's important, and the more people who can enjoy it the better. The only problem is the size of the room, but as someone mentioned, no landlord will complain about having paying customers.

One idea could be that if there gets to be a lot of people maybe people could play together, as in many a session I have attented up north or in London, so it becomes a collective session. This seems to keep the musicians and the spectators happy, and can be a great way to get people playing together.

It would be a great shame if the Hertford session faltered, there's is not enough live music (session wise) in Hertford, we should be encouraging more pubs in Hertford to do what the GE does, upstairs at the White Horse? the patio of the Old Cross? The Ram? Other sessions at different times would be brilliant.
