The Thursday session at the Gregson has moved upstairs to its own room. We had "The Management" appear in person last night to explain and discuss the change.
It all seems for the best of intentions but some people do not like the room and at the moment there is not the same atmosphere. However, we are encouraged to suggest any changes that we would like and there will be an effort made to accomodate us.
There is a bar in the room but the general public don't really know that it is there yet. Hopefully posters and directions will steer some audience in the right direction.
I would like a glazed door in the place of the present one, which is solid, as I believe that would be a beter piece of psychology for a newcomer to be presented with when contemplating joining us. However it is a non-standard size firedoor so that may be a problem on cost grounds.
It is easier to hear what you are playing in the new room and we have already suggested some changes for the layout of chairs and tables that should make it more friendly. Also in the near future there should be toilets completed on the same floor and in the further future there will be a lift for disabled access.
The Tuesday Irish session is not moving upstairs. Thursday is usually a much busier night, could well be to do with the extended opening hours!
So, if you're coming past on a Thursday don't think that we've disappeared, just come upstairs.

It seems a shame that the session is being moved upstairs - especially for people who just like to listen...
