(Former) Royal Mile Jam update

Greetings, folks,

I am currently in negotiation with a pub that may be interested in hosting our jam. The time being discussed is 3rd Sunday of every month, from 11 AM to 2 PM (except in Football season, where it would be 11 AM to 1 PM). The pub has a decent-sized brunch crowd, so there would be people to play for, and it'd be an excuse to go out and get Sunday brunch ourselves.

Nothing is form yet, but this is what we're looking at. More info as I get it.

Peter


P.S. Someone telephoned the pub I am currently negotiating with, ostensibly on our behalf, but was extremely pushy and rude to them, and angered the management to the point where they're having to think over whether or not to host us. I don't know who that was, but please remember - we are guests in the establishment where we play. We play because we have been invited to do so. It is important at all times to act like guests.

Jam is on hiatus

Sorry for the lack of updates. I had become lazy about filling out the tune list.

I'm afraid I have some bad news. The Royal Mile Pub is closed and out of business. Will it reopen under a new owner? We don't know.

But as such, the Royal Mile Scottish Jam Session is on hiatus until we find a new venue willing to host us.

I have a meeting with the owner of a pub in Silver Spring on 2/24 that may secure us a new home. I'll keep you up to date.

Keep checking this space for more details.

Peter
