I was going to go and have a look on the Saturday just gone, what with The Courtesy Group playing and so on, but things got ahead of me. Soon, though.

As for the atmosphere of the venue, we’ve worked really hard to retain the pubs character and like to think we have restored the features and complimented them with key bits of 70’s furniture. Put simply the way it was (dark and dingy)… put a lot of people off.

We hope we’ve made it more accessible to people…

I manage the myspace page (www.myspace.com/hare_and_hounds) and communicate on a daily basis to bands of a various genres. We try to support local talent and welcome diversity.

Give us a chance ; )

I’ve promoted and played the odd (very) night there myself in the past – and i can’t see the Bull’s Head style fitting in with what i liked about the place.

“young bohemian and savvy professionals” – i really hope they don’t mean me.

I think this is the important bit, really. Well, no, them continuing to sell £1 tins of lager from the upstairs bar is the important bit, but this is the second most important bit.

There are already bad signs, too (13th post down et seq.). Still, like yourself I’m trying to refrain from cynicism until the new place has been running for a bit and we have a decent idea what it’s all about.
