The Lion Brewery, Ash

Muso's beware: the landlord phoned us in the pub just after we had finished setting up our gear to say that because the pub was not full, he wouldn't be paying us the agreed fee. We could either pack up and leave or he would pay us "petrol money".

We declined to take any money and played for a bit in any case. A regular told us that the landlord has form when it comes to this kind of thing so beware - decline this gig. And punters wanting an evening's entertainment should look elsewhere - where musicians aren't exploited in this way.
