Ok Guys let me put a few things straight here. If you think frank sinatra is tinky tink blam tink music i worry, because thats generally what is on after 12. I have a limiter which was installed by the council and was set by them too. Any bands i have on finish at approximately 12 or earlier on a Saturday night. The DJ may carry on, but anyone who has actually been in here till that time of the evening knows Ray plays songs by the likes of Rolf Harris and older stuff. Saying that the 70's and 80's music played here will lead to kids behaving in such a way that they "roit and smash things up down the road" is ridiculous. The Church.....well, any god fearing christian would never allow there church to be cut up and sold to anyone. Also considering the flats are still part of the church, anything could be going on in them. I would be interested how many people who are moving in are single. Premarital... I have always been approachable and friendly. If anyone ever had any problems with what we do here, we tried our best to accommodate them. However no ones ever come over to me to complain about the music. I respect people that come and tell me to my face, rather than slur the good reputation of what is now a local community pub via an online forum. During my time here i have raised over ?1500 for the local schools and a hospice. All of which has been heartily supported by the regulars. We are not a Gastro Pub, I made it a local. This is a pub that people come to relax, unwind, and be friends. There are too many what i call glorified restuarants with a corperate mentality. Pubs used to be the hub of the community, and i tried to bring a little bit of that back. I know most of the customers in here by name. How many "pubs" can clame that. My locals are not just my customers, they're my friends.
