raganoonande Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 I am due to do a gig at the Penguin Pub at Shiregreen soon. I was wondering what the pub was like now. Everytime I've mentioned I'm doing a gig there to someone, they look at me as if I must be mad for going near the place. I have been assured that the pub has been taken over by another landlord, and that it has improved. Is this true? Or is the Penguin still as bad as it has always been. I have never been to the pub before, I am just going on what everyone else has said about it. Would be grateful if someone could let me know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valentine Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 Bouncer - have you any weapons on you sir? Customer - of course not Bouncer - would you like to pick one. (Sorry, it may have improved since the last time I was in) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayjay Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 Its no where near as bad as its reputation. But saying that I havn`t been in for a while but my mum goes in on a tuesday for the Quiz so it can`t be that bad. The landlord is the one who had the Sicey Hotel before it shut Like most estate pubs its always like walking into the`Slaughtered Lamb`if your a stranger . But i am sure you will have a great night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raganoonande Posted October 13, 2005 Author Share Posted October 13, 2005 Thanks for your reply. I don't feel as apprehensive now. I'm sure they'll be alright with us if they know we're providing the entertainment! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to say I was somewhat puzzled by your answer at first, but after reading it for a second time, I realised what you were trying to say! I'm sorry, I'm just a sheila who is a bit scared. Oh well, here's to tonight's gig! (she says as she downs a large scotch) I shall dedicate a song to all those who offered there support on this forum! Thanks!!

The557 Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 raganoonande Sorry for lack of clarity..(semi-literate I am) My memory of Shiregreen and The Penguin does not fit with thug behaviour and yobs...hence the hebephrenic outburst. It was as though someone told me my Gran was a Nazi concentration camp guard!! Sure you`ll do/have done, a diva job on the patrons. 'Music sooths the savage breast' break a heart! D.
