"I didn't spot anything which could be construed as arrogance.":

"I've had to make it clear to the various successive landlords of my local pub - just so that they know the score. We don't get paid, and we don't have to entertain the public."

It is not Will Fly's pub, it is the Landlord's pub and if I were his Landlord he and his mates would be out of the door in short order if they thought they had any right to tell me what to do.

As for entertaining the public, that seems to be of no importance whatsoever to Fry –"is that a pub session is for the benefit and pleasure of the performers. It's not necessarily for the benefit of the drinkers in the bar".

You definition of arrogance may vary…
