hotel booked so whats on at the hub
nothing unless cleaning, painting and redocorating is your idea of a good night out..
the hub is closed.. gone... dead.. no more.. its a dead hub...
A lot of controversy cos its been bought by mama stone, who is about in popular in exeter as a french tart with syphallis.. We are officially pretty much deviod of music venues at the moment, all the bands are having to squeeze into tiny pubs again.. but to be fair, the hub was a shithole..
we are still looking for warmup acts, so if anyone is travelling with a guitar, mando, triangle, kazoo and wants to do a 20 minute set in return for nowt more than applause let us know..
Plans for the venue, which will be called Mama Stone’s, include a performance stage for live music. There will also be a bar, a kitchen serving food and a recording studio.
The decision to buy the property came after Wendy’s Wellington music academy, the original Mama Stone’s, was closed down following complaints over noise.
Wendy said: “We were devastated when we had to shut down our Wellington venue after just two years, as we had been fighting for such a long time.
“But we delighted to create an even bigger and better Mama Stone’s here in Exeter.
“It will be very different to anything else that is here already, it is just what the city’s music scene needs.”
The site, which can hold up to 250 people, is set to re-open in just six weeks time in mid August, once it has been refurbished.
Wendy said: “We are getting to work straight away with redecorating and painting the place, and the ‘soft opening’ as they say in the US will take place in August, followed by a grand opening in the first week in September.”
Joss Stone, who is currently touring in Europe, will perform with her band on the night of the grand opening in early September.
Wendy said: “Joss is looking forward to performing here as she really likes Exeter, we will release dates nearer the time.
“There will also be some other big name bands, which I can’t confirm yet.”
The business venture will create a number of new jobs in the city, including positions for bar staff and food runners.
Wendy said: “We already have our managerial roles in place but anyone working as bar staff or in the kitchen should just drop by with their CV.
“We will also be looking for local bands and unsigned local talent to perform, so demo CDs are also welcome.
“We want to provide a stage for local artists, and we are open to any music genre.
“Mama Stone's will be a place for people of all ages to come and relax and listen to some good live music.”
would of thought this would be good for exeter
