Steaming Willie, Humphreys no Music rule is not about Just Folkies with a finger in the ear droning on it's about locals who consider it to be thier Pub having thier lives disrupted. No more Watching Sport or going into the Bookies next door then into the pub for a game of Domminoes whilst waching the racing. It is the Customers who make a pub what it is and Landlords and breweries should be aware of that! If they don't like it they go elsware. The Pub trade is in decline music venues are because of Humphreys edict are in short supply. Sounds like a goodtime to buy and develope propertise to turn into Licenced Live Music Venues. Unfortunatly for Humphrey the Grey haired Old Folky is just the man or woman with the Grey Pound to give Humphrey and others some competion. I doubt iif Sam Smiths will get a lookin as a Guest Beer.

Oh and the only time I have stood in the bar with my finger in my ear was when the Grease From the upstairs Oven caught fire in the Plough Whitby. As the team of Fire brigade men arrived me and Mick Haywood stood fast and sang the OLD DUN COW!
