Another music venue to close

[Dropzone]

This weekend is the final weekend for this great venue. Such a shame but once again it is the victim of a rubbish location, just like the Family Tree in Bognor.

My band Dropzone will be playing on the Friday and Saxonised (a tribute to saxon) will be playing on the last night, Saturday.

Will probably be a coop in a couple of weeks time.

Sad times indeed!!!

Yes I heard about that too. Never played there myself but it was on my target list....looks like I won't get the chance to now

Sad indeed.

+ The Wiliam Hardwicke in Bognor have cancelled all future band bookings (including two of ours) and stopped live music as "Our Customers prefer DJ sets and recorded music"

The Harwick have cancelled some of our gigs as well. I know Nicky who runs the entertainment and she was so gutted to stop the live music. The guy who owns the Hardwick used to run the Fountain and Vestry in Chi and also loves his live music. Sometimes you have to call a spade a spade and the Hardwick has always been a DJ type venue.
