Dear Friends of The Birmingham
We'd like to reach out for your help!
Since new management took over the birmingham last year,
we've seen some incredible local bands through the venue
and have grown to be a great fixture Melbourne's live music
community.
The idea of hosting bands at the Birmingham is slowly fading
due to noise complaints from one neighbour. And in the last
couple of days, has become serious to the point that we could
be told to cease bands as of tonight - I would also like to point
out that the neighbour moved into the residence after the
venue had been hosting bands.
In a last minute dash - we are asking for anyone who has
visited the venue, for a beer or a band, or even anyone
who appreciates the importance of preserving the venue
to sign this petition below.
Although - on a legal standpoint, the petition will not hold
water, we are hoping to appeal to the neighbour so they
can see the venue is loved and cherished by a broader public.
So, if you could please take the time to write a small
message, or even just a signature - we will be passing
this on the neighbour.
Thanks,
The Birmingham Hotel

A thousand people actually signed this thing and I am just sitting here staring at the screen because I honestly thought maybe fifty people would care about the hotel. People kept saying it was a long shot and I even started to doubt it myself on Tuesday when the printer jammed for the tenth time. This is wild and I need to go get a coffee to process all of this.

I never thought I would see this much energy behind the cause but here we are and it actually feels like people are really paying attention now. Seeing all these names come through is honestly pretty overwhelming because it proves that this place is so much more than just a room with some speakers.

STOP RUINING EVERYTHING GOOD IN THIS TOWN.
The new management is a total joke. They have no idea how this place works. Keep the hotel as it is.
spent so many friday nights here. literally heartbreaking to think about it being gone.
Used to meet my mates here back in the day. shame on the owners for trying to close it down
really hope they listen this time. we need the birmingham to stay open its the heart of the neighborhood

This place is a local icon. You cant just tear down history for more boring apartments. Leave it alone!
