About me: The Gander & Metropole are closed. For ever. Thanks to everyone who has played, supported, and worked hard to make this great venue the spiritual home of the live Bournemouth music scene.
My 1st July gig will still be happening, just across the road. Fingers crossed for the Wethers negotiations!
THE HAND - Banjo & kora based folky lushness ICHI - Incredible, hilarious one-man-band from Japan! LITTLE BOAT - local loop-pedal/bird-box genius Plus solo sets from Racheal and Wig of The Hand Plus! Bring a small drawing/aahtwork if you want it to be framed and swapped for someone else's in the Art Crime raffle!
Sad days, one of the last places to still do local live music in Bournemouth since the demise of Smiths. Hopefully something can come out of the smoke and keep music alive in Bournemouth.
All the best to most of you involved with The Gander/Metropole.
thats so sad.. i really cant believe it... how the hell did this happen... that place was amazing.... dickhead authority people -_- arrghh........(sigh)
