22/4/08 For those of you that have read the rest of the Blog you will all know about our Recent incident with the flyaway Roof..All Joking aside the damage was awful and the aftermath of this event has set in quicker than even I thought It would.We HaveTtoday ( WED) been informed by the owners that..TOMS ROCK BAR IS NOW CLOSED FOR RE-ROOFING AND FULL REFURB.. WE are totally gutted as we didn't see this coming so soon, we were hoping to give notice to the bands and promoters that were booked in at least until the end of the month.
What can I say .. I knew nothing about this until earlier today.It all comes down to Health and Safety and Insurance puposes. The powers that be, have been trying to get to us for years, now it looks like they may have actually found a legal way to do it. For NOW!!!!!!!Who knows, we may be told that everything is fine and it'll only take a week and we will then be back on course but just in case... Please stay in touch. We'll keep you all informed and as soon as we get any info we'll let you know.
19/4/08 Just as things were picking up, and we were hosting some KICK ARSE, WELL SUPPORTED SHOWS, WE have had yet another setback in our fight to return our venue, to what it once was....As many of you have heard, the entire Roof came off at 5am this morning..
It Closed Wood Rd for over 5 hrs, Took out the streetlighting, four cars, our phone line... GOOD THING NOBODY WAS UP WALKING, AT THAT TIME SO NOBODY WAS INJURED
