The fact that there are now so many pubs offering places for local bands to play and hand-pulled beer to drink.

I saw a really good blues band last night in the Shoulder of Mutton at Shelf. The singer is apparently in a different band tonight at the Bridge in Bradford.

What band was it? On my doorstep almost that. (Well 3 miles!)

Can't remember the band's name. I don't even know the singers name for certain ... Keith I think ... though I've been on nodding terms with him for years. He owns the DIY shop on Wibsey High Street.

When I lived in Uxbridge the Live Music act (or whatever it was called) (License) was brought in. I used to go to the Rising Sun in South Harrow & saw Jamiroquoi there, but when licensing was brought in it killed the live music scene in W. London.

Although I don't attend pubs anymore, I am pleased to announce that there are a lot of Pubs in & around Hastings that has live bands every weekend, & some even more than that.

Agreed! It's amazing what great music you can hear for the cost of a few pints. Love Swindon's local music scene especially Buswell, Good Things happen in Bad Towns and Gaz Brookfield.

And this can only improve, as the recent changes in the requirements for music performance licences takes effect.
