21 years we have been playing in the same pub in Derbyshire. I ought to point out, that we have been home between performances. But fact is. This is a proper pub. Traditional and as it should be. It's hanging on through these difficult times, where most pubs are closed and their souls dying. Blame smoking. Blame supermarket prices. Blame 600 channel tv. But this pub has everything. Great food. Real ale. Proper music of course provided by #ockbrookbigband ..plus dog friendly. In fact a chap sat with his dog inside the pub listening to our music. In the break, I gave him a biscuit...the dog..not the man. But his owner insisted I made him do tricks before I could give it...the dog ..not the man. His tricks included..roll over...spin round and play dead...a lot of work for a wilkos dog treat. There is beauty all around us..every day...in the smallest of experiences...just open your eyes...you will see them.
