I have a PA gig elsewhere that clashes with the event mentioned so will not be there in any event.

I did think of offering the Elephant an open mic on the Friday or Saturday evening. Last time I played there the people who had said they were coming did not so I played all night myself without PA but was made most welcome. Nonetheless owing to the PA gig it will not be this year.

The Bull is a bit away from the centre so does not suffer from the electric noise of the town centre pubs and a nice pub although I remeber the beer being I think £3.40 per pint last year.

I remember it having a nice back garden (if I have not got it confused with a different pub) so one could have two acoustic sessions eg one mainly diddly/humpty and one mainly song for the price of one and maybe one could run on into the evening.
