	The Doghouse	Thanks for all the messages of support! There's more in today's Courier at http://www. thecourier. co. uk/output/2009/03/11/newsstory12756854t0. asp Just a couple of things to add. The amounts outstanding are, and always were, able to be handled (in fact the total installment overdue was much less than the total figure you see quoted) - especially with all the support from local bands for which we are thankful and greatly appreciate. However Dundee Council and Administrators Begbies Traynor incorrectly (and with no discussion) decided this was not the case and any way forwards is in others hands right now. Also despite what some think, very little money was stolen in the break-in at the weekend as the substantial night's takings were already off-premises, subsequently banked and are now in the hands of the Administrators - so we hope that squashes any conspiracy theories before they start. The first Doghouse staff or management knew of the closure was when the Administrators arrived Tuesday lunchtime and shut us down. That Doghouse was/is a viable "going concern" but the current financial climate seems to be "shoot first, ask questions later." We are extremely disappointed and upset that it was Dundee City Council, of all people, who shut us down. So much for supporting small businesses in bad times.   Posted by The Doghouse on Wednesday, March 11, 2009 - 2:01 PM [Reply to this]

	Jeremiah	"We are extremely disappointed and upset that it was Dundee City Council, of all people, who shut us down. So much for supporting small businesses in bad times. " That was my first thought when I heard. Surely this flies in the face of current government policy to support businesses through the credit crunch. Have you considered contacting one (or more) of Dundee's MPs/MSPs?   Posted by Jeremiah on Thursday, March 12, 2009 - 1:27 AM [Reply to this]

	'Craft' John Gibson	Due to work commitments, I only found out on Wednesday about ..The Doghouse.. being closed down by the council and am in total shock for it was only through recently meeting Sarah, I found not only the initiative to challenge my own beliefs and begin to put into practice what I have been working on for five years but an instant friend of whom was prepared to help me help others, like she has done all her life for she gave me the courage and the privilege to set a charity I was about to unveil in Dundee, through the use of an office in the Doghouse and I promise as life is my witness, if justice for Sarah is not to be found, I will for one take my status some place else and while I might appear to be burning my own bridges in my own town, certain people in dundee should be HUNG in shame for their own gain.   Posted by 'Craft' on Friday, March 13, 2009 - 12:10 PM [Reply to this]

	DEAD EARNEST	There was, is and always will be only one Doghouse. It has been my consistent "home" for 5 years and through that I have seen Sarah become the hardest working person on the entire music scene in Dundee - she has performed miracles and to put her through this is a travesty on what is actually a major success story in Dundee - or has the council forgotten about the award already!! She has built the careers of many bands, way more than anything I could ever do, and deserves an award of her own. You get the feeling that this was about something more than just money as far as the council is concerned, but who can say!! Either way, the groundswell of support for the venue is growing by the day and all I can do is lend my voice to those who offer help and support. The Doghouse will be back - it is simply too good to lose!!   Posted by DEAD EARNEST on Saturday, March 14, 2009 - 1:00 AM [Reply to this]

	Orange Slice Records	That is more than rubbish. I lived in Dundee about 4 years ago and although it wasn't a venue I visited much The Doghouse was always a venue I admired. Remember when Frank Black played there many years ago, I didn't go. I couldn't get tickets. But still... I pray that you open again. If there's anything I can do give me let me know.
