Several other acts have withdrawn now, I wonder just how viable the Brasenose will be this summer?

Through the 80's & 90's etc I enjoyed many a lazy pint in the sun on the Brasenose lawn, happy days. It seems that when they functioned as a normal pub coping with a busy festival once a year they could keep afloat, ditto the Red Lion. When the Brasenose started the fringe more recently and the pub began to morph into a mini version of the O2 I did wonder if they had done their sums correctly. They have clearly become over ambitious and in the process have alienated villagers, performers, and the chaps at the main festival. Trying to organise another fringe when they owe money from last year is breathtakingly cynical.

I've never heard Brothers in Arms... It's well worth a listen. Excellent album, I reckon. |

Alchemy-Dire Straits Live (1983). I know some people will scoff at this, but it was a major soundtrack of my sixth form years, in the eighties and I haven’t heard it for years. I am right back there with all the friendship, love, joy and of course, angst! So nostalgic and whatever your views on the music I think it is a brilliant live album and those versions are THE versions for me. No scoffing from me. Love that album. Is that recorded at the Hammy Odeon? I certainly saw Dire Straits live there that year, but am unsure if I've ever actually heard the live album. Like many people I went very off Dire Straits after Brothers in Arms became arguably the most ubiquitous album of all time. A single note of some of the songs on there can make me head for the hills. The first three though, and maybe even four, are however great albums. Yes, it was recorded there. |

The posts from local residents are pretty scathing; sounds like an absolute s@!t show.

Apparently over the past few years it has been run by various companies (all owned by the same people) who have successively declared themselves bankrupt in order to avoid paying debtors, including local youngsters who'd been doing p/t work as well as suppliers.
