A bar billiards video, the clue says it is in Sussex but I don't recognise the pub.

No idea Nigel but the guy at the bar with the acoustic is a quality touch.
Reminds me of the night that our team played the Tesco bro's team on Paddy's night. One of my favourite bands, Blackadder, were giving it all they were worth not 10 feet from the table.............they weren't best pleased but still stuffed us.

Vinny, if you must take the p*ss out of my surname please at least go up market not down. Waitrose at worst!! :)
You're right they were loud but very good too!

The pub is The Bridge House Inn, Copsale (my Billingshurst League home top this year as stand-in for Doug Covey who has been poorly) and although I couldn't get a good look I believe the guy playing is in fact the landlord Brian Murray, who plays with his own Irish Band and I thought I could hear his distinctive Irish accent. 'The Bridge' has many musical events organised by Brian that cover varied types including Open Mic evenings, Buskers nights, Acoustic nights, Blues & Rock bands, Celtic nights, and others that I can only guess what they play with names like Imola/dogInSpace/ADHD/PumpsTelemachus/Hana/This Lonely Soul/Squadron/Superego/Anas/F-rocks.... ;D. He is proud that he does not have 'cover bands' as everyone is encouraged to play their own material, indeed he has special musician/songwriter evenings for them to 'test' out their material with other songwriters and record companies send bods down to check out the talent 8-). My latest 'flyer' has 19 events between Jan 13th and Feb 20th during most evenings except Wednesdays, because he doesn't want to disturb the Bar Billiards Teams although he does have an eclectic range of music playing as background - sometimes not so background too - what a star :). The following are taken from the flyer so go check 'em out. www.thebridgehousecopsale.co.ukwww.myspace.com/thebridgehouse

Great work, Sparky.
And great would have to be the lure to tempt anyone like yourself away from the Victory, which for a good many years was my own favourite pub.
The Bridge House sounds fantastic - heck, Franksey even plays there! - and I am secretly slapping myself for the fact that I haven't sounded it out yet.
Sounds like a great place to go on a Saturday night (and not for the bar billiards !)
I love the sound of Everafta, definitely my type of music.

Thanks Tommo
Brian has a real passion for music, hell he even told me I wasn't too old to start playing (must remind him to get his eyes checked ;D).
Pity you can't come along some Wednesday to chat with Franksey as he talks about you too (maybe you would know Ray M and Eric T? and no doubt our Captain long time Horsham/Billingshurst Tony T will send you PM), but MSBBL calls you on Weds :-*
