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.
