Although I was not there last year I gather there was more than one side to the version of events stated above.

When I have wished to avoid the front room of the Crown and Anchor I have successfully used its smoking area, and I have also asked to sing and been made most welcome (well, the landlord bought me beer all night) at the next pub down - is it the Elephant?

Manitas - you will see that Flora will be at the Crown and Anchor session on the Friday Night.

I am unlikely to be there.
