My plan to post from the pub fell at the first hurdle, no interweb access.
It really didn't suit us as a band either.
We're an acoustic band, we usually play folk club venues where the audience tend to sit quietly and listen.
Pubs are places where people go to be, in the main, sociable, to discuss the issues of the day and, increasingly in this day and age, to dine.
To have any impact on this environment one needs amplification.
There were amps available but not suitable for the kind of sound we make.
Still, lots of people complimented us and bought the C.D. so we've decided we played a draw.
Thanks and admiration must be heaped on Gary Holder, the guy who organises the evening, who runs from pillar to post herding the 'talent'.
Here's a picture of him with his musical instrument:
The next gig we have is at Coolham, another of Gary's clubs, but this time the venue is almost tailor made to our requirements.
Personally I don't care if I never see the inside of a pub again in my life.
(That'll surprise a few people an' no mistake.)

A proper experiment NEVER fails.
It should demonstrate that something is - or is not.
Otherwise, it’s not an experiment.
If the outcome is not what you hoped for, then it’s only the operator's expectations that have been failed.
(My science teacher told me that.)
I am moved to continue …
The Universe and life are the Creator’s experiments.
Do they work?
Discuss at leisure ...
