On Tuesday evening the bar in the Olde Whyte Swanne was empty while the back room was packed with Folk Club attendees. The landlady presented the club with a letter stating that in future she would be asking for £25 to hire the room.
Result - in a fortnight she can have a completely empty pub while the club meets elsewhere (probably the Mason's Arms).
Saves all that washing up and a trip to the bank I suppose......

Not the first pub that has not appreciated the business of course but when they realise how they have cut their own throats it's too late.
That room is only worth a fiver a go anyway......OOOps.

The Mason's is a really nice pub, and has just won CAMRA's Town Pub of the Year award, so I hope its the new venue.....hopefully should be a bit less claustrophobic!

Myrtle.

Perhaps she got fed up with all the pissed-up Lincolnshire backwoodsmen that the club attracted? :-)
Or maybe she's a close relative of our dear Countess? She certainly seems to be just as deranged and up her own rectum.

2nd and 4th Tuesdays of the month. They're a very friendly crowd, and treat visitors very well indeed. Highly recommended.

Is Dean Hardy a resident at Louth? Dave Fletcher and I were in the same class at school.

I think we would both like to see him. I know Nick Flynn, another old friend would also.

Thats a bummer for them.
Time they went to a village hall or social club. Not so enchanting but more likeley to be available when you want it.

Maybe we should club together and buy a big camper van then run it as a mobile music venue in the villages.

I'm a bit late on this thread. The order of events I recall: my brother Keith Brown and I started the club in 1970 at the Wheatsheaf but we only stayed there a couple of weeks. It was then to the Crown & Woolpack and then The Poacher. Initially Liam Duffy was to be a resident but the logistics proved unmanageable. I went to Uni in Nottingham and Keith gave the club up soon after.
