The whole country is in a right mess and the way its going we won't have a choice for our leisure time, so please support this if you enjoy going to the social clubs etc. Most rocking gigs are held in these venue right across the country and we need to keeo them open by supporting them as best as we can. 


It's not just a club but the jobs of bar staff, cleaners, brewery & distillery workers, delivery people.. if people don't act, we will have no option but to stay at home watching the same old stuff on the TV with a cheap can and no prospect of a social life. It's already gone past the thin end of the wedge folks.... 


Not only are drink prices effecting clubs, the councils are getting very pushy over noise levels at some clubs....Noise meters turned down to 90 decibels... its rediculas... I had a club where I did the sound check in the concert room and had the level ok, but when I came on the crowd cheering cut the power.... so are we not allowed to enjoy shows in clubs now???? 


We need this petition signed by over 100,000 people, now we know that if every member of your club and the musicians who play there signed this we would not only reach 100,000 but exceed it dramatically, so please spread this petition and lets make a stand now and not tomorrow when its too late.....

Worked in these clubs for years. If they shut down the whole industry is finished. Need more support for the local venues.

Ridiculous about the power cutting out just for cheering. Thats the whole point of a gig!! Keep these places open.

My local club is the only place in town where you can actually hear decent live bands. Councils need to stop killing off our culture just cause of some noise complaints. Leave them alone.
