Yeah we played the Kings Head in Buggers Hill a few times, the landlord was a complete a**hole. The first time we played there he said we had to finish by midnight because of noise restrictions, so we ended the set at quarter to, and did one encore taking us to 11.50. When we went to get paid he said he was docking us £10 because we finished 10 minutes early! So we added £20 to our fee the next time we played there
They had us booked in another 4 or 5 times this year too, which of course have now been cancelled. but that place has had problems for years apparently, lots of violence etc. I did like it for the size of stage area (not raised but large enough) and the fact it was 10 mins drive from my house, but it was a bit of a hole really.
What band are you in then Mykesbass? we are probably playing a lot of the same places!

I think you're refering to Bob which was a tricky B@sst#!@!! he used to aggree a fee and then pay you whatever he thought was appropiate.
That was just a recent phenomenom only present when the pub started going downhill. I've been drinking there for the last 9 years and I never saw a fight until recently. The last good landlord was Phil, not the smoothest of guys but he loved live music and he is a bassplayer too.
BTW guys the Brewers Arms and the Cricketers are trying to take the KH place now. You can go around and drop a card if you're looking for bookings.
