Unfortunately many pubs here are shutting down as less people use them and costs go up. COVID has not helped that situation. There used to be a lot more in our village, but just 3 left now. Live music can be a lifeline for them. Some rely on serving food. The one we used to meet in decided that they wanted to do more food and so chucked us out.
The could be video of the open mic I did last night.
That's not our house. There are villages around here that are very picturesque with lots of thatch. I know from experience that it is expensive to maintain.
