Yeah, played a gig there about 1995. Someone kicked off and chairs started flying

Landlord came out with a baseball bat which got prised from his hands and was then used to smash all the optics up.

We kept playing for a little while like a surreal scene from a western.

Later oon the same night our van got broken into and 3 of our guitars got lifted.

Vowed never to go there again after that.
