ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Introducing in Hereford

ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Introducing in Hereford
This month's sessions were recorded at a venue which has picked up a top award after being selected as the third best pub in Britain for live music.
Ìý
The owners of the Booth Hall, in High Town, have spent their two-and-a-half-thousand-pound prize money on television cameras as they become the first establishment in the UK to stream what's happening on stage.
Ìý
However, this time last year, the doors were shut after fire ripped through adjoining properties, cutting it off from the pedestrianised part of the city.
Ìý
The building also suffered extensive water damage as fire crews hosed the walls to prevent the 14th century pub from collapsing.
