Save the Freebutt

[shoreham moonraker]

Hanbury is going to be opening again in july as proud galleries, pretty much cabaret and the like, which to means seems f***ing wank.

 

[CHAPPERS]

The Hanbury is the best small venue in this town if you ask me.

 

[Mr Banana]

Signed! Is this because of the noise of the music or the noise of people gathering outside? Every time I've been there since it was done up the bouncers have had quite a job keeping everyone quiet in the smoking bit.

Sound bleed dear. Not people.

Thanks for all the signatures.

 

[Hotchilidog]

Signed. Bad news about the Engine Room too.

I'm hoping the Hanbury can return to it's former glory as a well used venue rather than the poncified cocktail bar it recently became. Lovely venue but absolutely the worst bar and bar staff I have encountered at any music venue in Brighton.

well i think from what i have heard the poncified hanbury will continue, going to be promoting cabaret etc. as i said sounds to me total f***ing wank.

The Camden Proud Galleries regularly puts on gigs so hopefully the Brighton one will do the same. A cabaret venue, as you say, will be total f***ing wank.

That sounds good I signed yesterday and was about 160 odd. I hope this gets some momentum its such a small venue for the council to pick on, lets hope Jon Catt don't get wind of the chance to close down a Brighton institution.

I've seen Pulley and Ten Foot Pole and My Deaf Audio in that place, great memories!

Isn't there more we can do? The Freebutt is an institution, its a proving ground for local bands, and where I saw my first ever gig and many many gigs since. There must be thousands and thousands of people who went through their younger years seeing college bands at the Freebutt.

I heard today that some councillors have come out in support of the Freebutt and the hope is that the EHO will back off a bit.

I f***ing hope so as I've booked the venue for my wedding afterparty.
