As Signus mentioned, The Junction is our only viable venue! the night club's in the city are heavily restricted, even the new live music venue (not recorded music as thats a seperate licence) has struggled to gain it's licence dispite 1000's on facebook and related petition similar to the one we have posted!
The venues able to play recorded music are limited, the junction, fibbers, ziggies. (both fibbers and ziggies simply wont work for what we wont to do) and tru and the gallery both owned by a major chain, not allowing anything other then the same guy each and every friday!
As you may have noticed we run a back room of a pub event, limited to 250 people with a band style soundsystem, and till 1am due to the licence! We work hard to bring events of this nature to people in york on a regular basis! we could travel to leeds or manchester, but that would cost an average of £40+ each time, for that cash in york ya can go out twice!!! that helps build a scene!!! and what we've got is all we've got!
Any support given would be greatly apreciated, as anyone who's been to any of the uprooted and tinnitus events will know, there is no trouble ( the only incident i remember was when a well known individual to the police started kikcking off in the beer garden, this was while we where setting up, and hadn't even opened, so dont know if it count's, also dont think he was there for our night) and we pride ourself's on running a professional operation.
Big up's. Enjoy!
