Anyone who walks down Great Charlotte Street in Liverpool city centre at weekends is likely to be greeted by a wall of sound coming from the pubs and bars lining the road.
And one of them will certainly be Tess Rileys, which has repositioned itself as a live music venue and now has professional singers queueing up to perform in front of punters. This sets it apart from karaoke pubs, where anyone and everyone is encouraged to get up and have a go.
Whereas Mathew Street caters mainly for tourists and Concert Square for students and the younger crowd, the pubs in the area around Great Charlotte Street - several of which are Irish-themed - are aimed squarely at an older clientele, some of whom have been drinking in these pubs for decades.
