we had a similar thing in our area--an old barn-like building had
been the location where much acoustic music had been performed in
the recent decades. Fortunatley in our case, the APalm Playhouswe,
which had become surrounded by car sales lots, and apartments, was
able tofind a new home in a neighboring town at the site of an old
opera house from 100 years ago (you see, in US, and California 100
year old buildings seem quite old to us) so we are still in luck of
having a venue for live music. With luck in your situation the Beverley
may be re-incarnated and will live agian....here's hoping....
perhaps all you hull-ites can form a corporation or co-operative
and carry it on!! byt the looks of the mud cat threads there must be thousands of folkies in hull!!
