18 Nov 08 - 11:15 AM (#2496765) Subject: RE: Maudslay Thursday - a new Coventry venue From: Chris Green Just a bit of an update! Just confirmed for October 8th is the delightful George Papavgeris and the equally delightful Vick Swan and Jonny Dyer, thus making it a distinctly mudcatty evening! We're also having a bit of a fundraiser night for the new venue on 18th December (2008) featuring the incomparable Keith Donnelly, Mick Bisiker & Chris Green and Alfresco. There will also be the inevitable raffle - the prize for which will be a pair of tickets to all of the 2009 events for two lucky people! Tickets for the concert cost £6 on the door or £5 in advance and are available from Lucy on 07983 590050 or we're emailable at maudslaythursday@yahoo.co.uk Cheers Chris Maudslay Thursday |

It's actually 07535 130975. Perhaps a kindly elf could alter it for me? Thanks in advance! Chris |

19 Dec 08 - 04:24 AM (#2519579) Subject: RE: Maudslay Thursday - a new Coventry venue From: GUEST,Graham Bradshaw We, Sneak's Noise, ran the Burnt Post from 1977 to 1986. Universally regarded as one of the best clubs in the Midlands at the time. Closed in 1986. A couple of people had a go at re-opening during the 90s, but never really took off. Main problem was the pub itself, and one of the reasons why we closed it. Being a managed house, the managers used to change fairly frequently. We were lucky with some great gaffers, but latterly, it all started to go downhill. It was re-classified by the brewery as a 'training pub', which meant we started getting managers who were just passing through, and usually had no concept about folk clubs, and saw it as a nuisance. This remains the case, and I believe the upstairs room has now been turned into offices/training facility. On the other hand, there is the Maudslay pub, which has a great upstairs room, and is the venue for the new Maudslay Thursday venture started by Duellingbouzoukis. Well worth checking out if you are returning to/visiting Coventry. I am sure details of upcoming gigs will be posted here!! |
