I remember Jack too cashy especially when he used to fall of the stool playing the piano. used to practice there in the seventies with a group, that was after Jack ad died. Worked on the refurbishment in 76 whilst the pub was close, when it reopened a mate took it over Denis and Ruth Smalley, was my local for a few years but ain't been in or years now
