Basically, the fee they've asked for has made the session untenable for the numbers we now average on a Monday night, 25/30 + the band.
Don't know if they plan to to replace the jazz night with something else, but if the function room bar remains closed it's never going to succeed.
VCJ trombonist, Lawrence McBriarty, commented last night that he first played at the Corner House aged 19 - more than 50 years ago - a lot of beer has flowed down the pipe since then! Anyway, hopefully it won't be the end of traditional jazz at the Corner House and that we'll be back there sometime in the future.
What a shame, sounding more like the sort of thing that happens here in Hong Kong...I've had many a happy blow in that room with dad with various bands over the years, and of course, the wonderful shows by the international musicians that have appeared in that room, hope they will see sense and resume sometime in the future.

It certainly doesn't make any sense to me, Colin, to lose 25-30 regular Monday night customers. What next? Turn all the lights off to save money, perhaps?
