Also the very famous Loose Elastic perform here--try to catch a rendition of Delila -It brings the house down- sort of sing a round in the back room . Relaxed and informal and sometimes quite jolly- how dare you-we all know this is meant to be a serious business! The beers very good as well. Very full last time I went and a really good evening, I didn't see Delila though |
