'Sammy's Acoustic Open Mike' at 8pm on the first Sunday of the month was not Sammy's, not acoustic and did not begin at 8pm.
A resident group/band complete with drummer and electrically amplified guitars hogged virtually all of the first half, only to reveal during the interval that there were no more slots left for common types such as open mike performers.
Apparently people start gathering at 7.30, and if you want to claim a performance slot, this is the time for you to show up. . .
Some nice draught beers, a chill cabinet with its lights out, but not many customers buying anyway.
Perhaps the electrically enhanced hosts could try playing Merle Haggard's 'I Think I'll Just Stay Here and Drink'
