Menage a trois?
what with the marginalisation from the two in a bar rule and the village pub fighting for survival, it has just come to my notice that the new venue of Charfield singaround (Plough 3rd Thur, J14 M5 UK) shares the pub with the cribbage school and a gentlemen's hairdresser! Quiffing, quaffing and one for his knob?
Carlton FC (notts) is (was?) held in the fire station (all together ngar-ngar, ngar-ngar)

what other strange bedfellows do Folk Clubs enjoy sharing?

cue song? & it's nearly finished - will sing this Thurs & post soon. (Think "All for me Grog")

One of the standing jam sessions in this area is held in a train station. The acoustics are very lively to say the least.

When a local Shanty group (Near Washington DC) used to host 2 shanty-sings, the one here in NOVA was at a place called "Hardtimes Cafe" which specialized in chili and other southwestern fair.

I've been to a fantastic singaround in a Masonic Lodge.... one of the original Accoustic Bog Society meetings - the cloakroom is huge with lots of seats around the wall, and the accoustics, as in all bathrooms, fantastic!

Gents didn't have too far to go, but the ladies left a bit to be desired.....

Plough = Pub by the same name
3rd thur = 3rd Thursday of the month
J14 I'm guessing junction 14
M5 = Motorway number 5
UK = England

simple really....... the Plough Pub on the 3rd Thursday at junction 14 of the M5

my club shares a scout hall....... we sing amongst canoes, rafts, skulls, ropes, knotwork, maps, occasionally tents..... not that strange but when the songs get boring (not that it ever happens.... she hastened to add.. *grin*)... you have plenty of things to look at.....
