When we took over the venue there were 30, yes THIRTY tribute bands
booked. Many of them had contracts which we're difficult to get out of. We
decided to cancel all non-contracted tribute bands straight away which
left about 10 gigs booked through to Dec 2010. There are now 4 left. If
you read any interviews we have always said there will be no tribute band
at The Fleece by the end of the year. Please re-read the sentence below.
It says we will no longer be BOOKING covers or tribute bands.
We have done our utmost to turn the Fleece around. The facebook group has
approaching 2,000 members in just 4 months. Everyone is saying how much
the events list ha improved. We've had literally hundreds of emails from
people thanking us for what we're doing. We've spent the last week
painting everything and fitting a new stage carpet (the first in 15
years!!) ready for Saturday. We've booked the likes of Killing Joke, Edwyn
Collins, Caitlin Rose, Stackridge, The Besnard Lakes, Sage Francis, OKGO,
80s Matchbox B-Line disaster, Sick Of It All etc etc etc with LOADS more
to come.
As I type this I'm covered in paint and carpet glue and dust and
completely knackered (I've just got home from The Fleece). You have no
idea how frustrating it is get criticism that we're not doing enough
especially from the very people who are supposed to be behind us.
For any of you who are not so glass-half-empty please note that we've now
sold 175 tickets and have over 100 on the VIP guest list. Our capacity is
330 so paying on the door can't be guaranteed.
