The Public House
A Local Institution

The ho­tel, inn, ta­vern, bi­stro, re­stau­rant, in­deed the in­dus­try we call hos­pi­ta­lity to­day, finds it's hum­ble be­gin­nings in the pub­lic house.  At the cor­ner of ev­ery ma­jor cros­s­roads, the pub­lic house is the as­sem­bly place in it's lo­cale. Here fa­mi­ly meets world.  Fa­mi­lies con­geal as the lo­cal com­mu­nity forms and de­fi­nes it­self. 

The pub­lic house ser­ves as hos­tel, kit­chen and tap; the heart of the lo­cal com­mu­nity!  It is here where fa­mI­ly and com­mu­ni­ty mile­sto­nes are de­cla­red, ob­ser­ved and ce­le­bra­ted.  More than that it is gos­sip cen­tral where the com­mu­nity pulse is gauged and com­mu­nity plans are for­ged. 

In the eye of that whir­ling storm we call com­mu­ni­ty stands the pub­lic house. 

The Publican

The publican keeps his ear to the ground.  He ser­ves as his com­mu­ni­ty's pri­mary cheer­lea­der and boo­ster. He is the na­tu­ral local im­pre­sario, host of the dance, mas­ter of ce­re­mo­nies, pro­mo­ter and cham­pion of caus­es.  He is coun­cil­lor and di­plo­mat, an­chor and ar­bi­ter of taste.  Ca­te­ring to his pa­trons in all their va­ried pre­fe­ren­ces he greets them each by name with a smile and an ap­pre­cia­tive slap on the back. 

Housing the buzz that is community life, in­spi­ring the pro­fi­table buzz in bu­si­ness, is the pub­li­can's ce­le­brated right.  Hos­ting local fes­ti­vi­ties, his pri­vi­lege and de­light, are his for­te; his pride and joy.  Ig­ni­ting joy, fun, and ex­ci­te­ment at ev­ery op­por­tu­ni­ty are the pub­li­can's cal­ling and vo­ca­tion. 

Entertainment and Hospitality

Hiring entertainment is a critical decision.  The part-time ama­teur could scare thou­sands right out of your till while re­gu­lars cash out and leave.  Some tables will call for the tab and close out as they see the spea­kers drag­ged in.  Only the full-time pro­fes­sio­nal can be coun­ted upon to earn his wage.  The ar­tist's fee is the least im­por­tant fac­tor in the pro­cess. 

Professional entertainers and musicians are the tra­di­tional part­ners and allies of the pub­li­can.  They as­sist you to build your bu­si­ness, ex­tend your hos­pi­ta­li­ty, ur­ging your bu­si­ness to main­tain a defining role in the com­munity. 

The pro­fes­sion­al en­ter­tain­er is a little lar­ger than life.  He meets and greets tens, hun­dreds, even thou­sands of guests at a glance.  The proof of the pro­fes­sional is found in the cash re­gis­ter at the end of the per­for­man­ce and re­si­dual­ly for days and weeks to come. 

The pro­fes­sion­al en­ter­tai­ner will en­hance an event ig­niting a par­ty wher­ever he chooses.  Pa­trons stay lon­ger, spend more money and eat and drink more.  They will take home me­mo­ries and return more fre­quent­ly, bring­ing their friends ho­ping to re­create the ex­ci­ting mo­ment of that per­for­man­ce.
