Sounds amazing and every blessing for the opening night.

We've got several empty pubs and a large-ish hotel up here in
Musselburgh that could do with the Aero-Grand-Designs makeover team.

If you decide to set up a Fleece chain, put us down for the next one!

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.
