Bit of a long shot posting on here, but here goes...
Please help save The Junction - time is an important factor here, please read on and if you can spread the word by posting on message boards and as a bulletin on here, I would be most grateful. Even if you've never been to the place I'm sure most of my friends on here if not all will appreciate that the place is a bit of an institution for live music in the area and holds such great memories for me, especially since the current landlord, Bob took the place over. If everybody who read this message gave just a pound or two it would all mount up...help save The Junction as chances are it won't be a live music venue under new management.
********************************************************
This is a call out to anyone who's played here, been to gigs here or anyone else who feels that we need places where small bands from all over the world and locally can play in a friendly DIY atmosphere covering punk, noise, metal, experimental basically anything left-field that others can't or won't put on. Some of you may have heard of the The Junction in Bristol, UK others not. A brief run down of the situation - the present manager, Bob has been running the place since Nov 2004, over the past year it has been increasingly difficult to keep the place open due to money promised but not received so it has been a case of 'robbing Peter to pay Paul'. The promised money has not arrived and The Junction at present will be holding it's final gig on New Year's Eve and the powers that be will close the place soon after.
So basically we're asking for your help to keep us going, cheeky yes? Depends on how much you value places like this I suppose.
If you are feeling generous then please throw some money at this paypal account, or if there are any benefactors out there in the music biz wanting/willing to put something back get in touch (anything's worth a try!)
Cheers and a merry Xmas and all that.
