Further proof that the women of Sunderland were and are bad ass. Very proud that our new venue will have this slapped on its wall.

Can’t believe a year has passed since Dave died. Seems like just a minute ago he was running round the garden in the nip.
I hope these photos cheer up your day a little. I think they’re a fair slice of the Dave we knew. A really cool, fun guy who loved life.
Peace & love x

Solidarity w/ striking workers across the UK. We're gonna be inconvenienced, frustrated and annoyed - absolutely no doubt. But piece by piece the best remaining bits of what makes this a relatively decent place to live are being dismantled and they're standing up for all of us.

We have a shop front.
Add that to having a floor and a roof and I presume everything else will look after itself.

The roofs are being finished, all new windows are in and we can really see what Binns used to look like in front of what will be our venue.
We are far from done but every day we can now see and feel ourselves getting closer.
Take care
See you on the other side

They've been at it again. Early this morning we had our 5th break-in in 2 years. Loads more damage to deal with and equipment stolen. Really disappointed more than anything. If you're passing today we could use a bit of love.

This is what we are forging right here on the High Street in Sunderland. Of course that's just the start. We are building to support artists when live music is back.
RT this to your favourite bands, artists, comedians etc. Let's see how far and how big we can go.

Delighted to announce that we have been rewarded £25K of funding from the Savoy Educational Trust.
This will fund our POP (Practical Opportunities Program). This funding makes our training program a reality and is a huge step forward for Pop Recs.

One thing that will get culled are independent businesses. All the toil, tile and money. Just awful. I’m like anyone else. I don’t know what to do for the best. I’m happy to stay open. Anyone need coffee delivering? Anything for that matter. Life can be tough as a restauranteur.

There was a time I'd be excited by a big night out or a daft weekend* but now I'm buzzing after 6 long years to see walls flying up, stairs to toilets and to be trucking towards (not) being able to open the doors.
