Back in the glory days of The Sun Steve, the then landlord, used to give all musicians a drink of their choice. I had a programme on my computer that printed off beer tokens which I then handed out at the session (both Sunday and Tuesday sessions). Steve obviously thought it worth doing in exchange for all the custom we brought in but I'm just as happy if the current climate precludes anything of the kind now.

My comment about the free food on Sunday was intended to say that I don't need inducements to turn out to play. However, I do like my real ale and would like the opportunity to purchase some in venues like the Sun

Yes it's always nice to get some sort of acknowledgement from the landlord.

I would just like to clarify my comment about the 'freebies'.
I go to various song sessions around the country and the landlords treat the participants differently in what they provide.
Some just don't provide anything, fair enough, some provide food e.g. a plate of sandwiches etc., some provide a pitcher of beer to be passed around the participants and some provide free beer etc. for the organiser.

I think that it is in the nature of sessions that it's everyone's contribution that makes a session. It's not just the organiser, and most of the time the session would/could still take place if the organiser wasn't there i.e. no-one is indispensable - what happens if they can't make it at the last minute, the session still runs.

I see this as a gesture of appreciation from the landlord to the participants and if you're on a diet you don't have to eat/drink anything!

I thought it a very nice gesture, the Sun has a lovely atmosphere and it is again hard to see it empty of all but musicians, hopefully the regeneration of this part of Beverley may help. John went in the other week on a sunday lunch and it was completely empty (just in case some people thougth it was the musicians driving the punters away!)

Sorry I didn't make it yesterday but I agrEe completley with Roger about the freebies - however at least when it's food everyone gets the chance to partake.

Well, no hand-pulled beer on at all yesterday (and very few light bulbs either.)

Good turn out of singers and players

There was some free food on which was appreciated but, personally, I go out for a play and a drink of real ale rather than for freebies.
