A Night of Indie blah blah

So the vastly superior Bangkok Erotic Revue was ditched in favour of Fake Guitars. Sam, bless him, was pissed when he was asked for the band name and Bangkok…hang on…Bangkok Sex Revenue…that’s not it…hang on…fuck it.

Thoughts on the closure of The Forum Music Centre

Yesterday I got the news that The Forum Music Centre is to close at the end of August. From what I can gather, previously agreed council funding has been pulled which, in turn, has put the skids on a second grant from One North East. I don’t know if the funding was pulled because of wider cutbacks from our beloved, barely-elected coalition government but it seems bit too much of a coincidence that a grant that was on the table suddenly isn’t post-emergency budget.
