The way my back is at the moment, a whole body transplant wouldn't go amiss!

The pub prop wasn't at The Sun anyway. Now, if only I could find my glasses I could really look for it :-)

Is it an age thing Rog? needing a prop in a pub?

Did anyone find my pub prop still attached to the table after I had gone last Sunday? Can't find it anywhere and that is the only place I can think left to look - perhaps I'll head down there now and ask in the pub just in case it was picked up by the cleaners. Oh, and I might have a pint of Landlord whilst I'm there!

Monk's Walk, the Sun, or the Tiger.

The Tiger is a tune session, the other two will be singing (mainly). They're all quite close to each other so you could easily do all three!

I'm under the impression that piped music in pubs is for the benefit of the staff, who might get bored serving drinks and talking to customers. The punters go there to talk to each other, play music or listen to it, and the musak doesn't help any of those. Perhaps they should put the speakers under the bar so only the bar staff can hear them?

Unfortunately Tim has his school play on Friday night, so we won't get to Beverley until Saturday. Where's the best place to meet up with 'catters?

It isn't the juke box. It's a loop of CDs that they deliberately play behind the bar.

Haven't been for ages sorry to hear you are having problems the answer is to arrange a big session night and play mainly tunes and drown out the juke box.Will drag out some of the Hessle mummys and talented kids and mob the place for you Jo. School holidays are the best time.
The black boy session has gone so well with the punters that the pub is often full.Prior to the session starting Alan usually only had a few regulars in.He has also just decided to take out the juke box.
The man is a hero.

Hi Roger

Sorry to hear of your woes. You may not make it to Monks Tuesday night? If you can and you want a lift let me know via mudcat or e-mail.

WIll be a bit thin on the ground anyway I fear as Graham (whistle) is away. Tom is back I think though.

Get well soon.


Cheers

Barring a miracle I won't make it to the Monk's today - tore a muscle in my back on Friday and am struggling to stand or sit with any comfort.

I'm in a bad way as I was due to see the rheumatology specialist at Hull Royal about my arthritic hand next Tuesday - the hospital has now cancelled the gig, with no date for a re-booking.

Excellent session last night despite loud unfriendly music from the bar. Nice mix of tunes and songs. Everyone in the pub except one grumpy kid said they'd prefer to hear the session and the worst thing is listening to two things at once.

If background noise gets to you the trick is to come early and sit in the snug away from the door.

Did not have a problem with the piped music this Sunday in fact I was asked by the bar staff when we wanted it turned of.Can't do much about noisy regulars I am afraid Carol, after all they are the regulars we the visitors.

Last Friday's session was good but started late. There was music at the bar but once going it didn't bother us. Only one barstaff there and she didn't know how to operate the cd system which was left on a loop.

We understand there is a holding company looking after the Sun and they have employed managers, but the main lady isn't blonde.

This Friday should be a lively one, Stevie is over from Leeds.

There is a poster in the window at the moment describing the pub as the only Rock venue in Beverley.

We could do with some posters up advertising the acoustic sessions too

How did the session go last night?
Did Thin Lizzy get left on the shelf?
Do you think the people that go in there do so to listen to the music, I know I did. The landlady ( i think she is the landlady ) was of the opinion people who went in on a Friday did so because they had picked up the reputation of the pub!!! some reputation I say, A meeting of Hells Angels no doubt will lift beer sales and eh the pub
has been saved by these fantastic sellers of ales.
I really do hope the musos win the battle of the bands and I hope it happens soon. If the session went well please post which personnel stood behind the bar. If it went well I assume the blonde "landlady" was in attendance, are the four people some sort of syndicate or just family ?
Chalk and cheese I say.
I will not return out of principle and will drink where I feel wanted which at the minute is at the monks with the delightful taste of the wold top brewery although I do miss Timmy Taylors when I do so

It looks like the Sun is moving towards heavy metal but says the folk is welcome and hope the two can co exist. It's not working well some Fridays as Black Sabbath isn't getting the kind of atmosphere that's comfortable at the start of sessions. There have been evenings when a good session gets going and the music is turned down, but there is a clash and the folk isn't winning.

The Sun is the best place for a session and snap decisions are a mistake so we are hanging on with Fridays for the time being. We're going to lend them a moving hearts CD which appeals to heavier tastes but won't clash.

The session needs planty of support. Lets stay lively on a Friday night and persuade them to leave Thin Lizzy on the shelf. Lovers of songs can enjoy the odd stretch of tunes and musicians can enjoy occasional songs and we can get what's most important which is a good folkkey thing on a Friday night in Beverley.

No problems with background music on a Sunday - there would be a riot as the pub is full of sessioneers and the audience.

This Sunday in the sun is hosted by Mississippi John

I recall a story told by Martin, the Wilsons were at Cleethorpes festival and looking for a pub to sing in, they picked the roughset fishermans pub and parked the biggest one of them on the juke box, no one put money in it!
