daftlad   11 #49 Posted January 3, 2008 I'm pretty sure he'd be kicked out for playing WITH his organ though.....  Not sure re the contract, but I think it's about time they paid for a better PA system or something and just piped some music through.  either that or put a solo singer on to do another spot. You could have a singer on between 8:00 and 8:30 then the main group and when the bingo has finished put the singer on for a second spot before the group. A soloist singer does not cost much. May even get a few more people in Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

So the breweries sold off those not making money, that were kept going by the ones doing better. Obviously the smaller concerns could not afford it and thats why a lot of locals have disappeared. Didn't take any body with much brains to realise that would happen and thats why i got out of the pub trade Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
