Gah, regardless it's still sad.

I think it meant the council board of entertainment, might be wrong though.
Anyways, I would like to say that I am by no means blaming the public for the closure of the Lemon Tree, I'm only saying that venues need a certain amount of support and that means bums on seats. Incidentally, the bar has been maing a profit recently and it's a shame that the council didn't take recent gigs and such like into equation. To be honest, I find it surprising that in the first day the Lemon Tree have had shit loads of support (money donated and signatures on petitions). All I can think is where were all these folk when it came to gigs and events?
Sorry if I've some across as self rightous or whatever but I'm seriously pissed about this, some of my best friends and people I used to work with are out of a job all of a sudden and quite frankly I think it could have been avoided.
It's with that that I bow out of this thread and encourage any of you who feel strongly about this to donate money or offer any services you think might be useful to a fundraiser to the offical Save The Lemon Tree Campaign, regardless of what your opinions are of my posts
