Hey - there's pubs and there's pubs. The Castle in Oldham is a pub. The Hope and Anchor in London is (was?) a pub - back in the days of punk it was a top venue, they even brought out an album in honour of it (a bit before your time, I know, but you see what I'm getting at). The Witchwood in Ashton is a pub.

I've not seen the White Lion either - perhaps a works outing is in order, to scope it out?

I do know what you mean, and yes, the Porterhouse was a crap venue, but it is simply not geared up for live music.

Either way, does it really matter? The mighty Karma can rock any room. You could play in a miner's jockstrap and rock the joint. It used to be called 'paying your dues', and the thing is, you'll look back and laugh at gigs like this when you're flying in your Lear-jet on the way to the next mega-arena (honest...)

Pub or not pub - you've just got to grab the crowd by the throat and if they don't get it - fuck 'em...
