Just over 6 hours to go to save The Booking Hall, Dover

This venue is important to the south east of Kent, and also to me.

If you can donate and support it please do.

I have seen nearly 80 bands there at over 40 events in the last few years which include well established bands as well as local bands that have provided support.

Over 10% of the views on my channel cover the 80 videos I have taken at this venue....checkout the PlayList to see who I have seen play there https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAZJqyF2xjYMTtrfHVk3I8v2ExdoMnlew&si=4cpEp9GijjQ752y5

This is it! Today is the final day for our Crowdfunder to secure the future of The Booking Hall. At midnight tonight donations will be closed.

Thank you to everyone who has supported us this past month. Whether that's buying tickets to shows, offering words of support, sharing these posts or donating to the Crowdfunder itself. You have all made it so clear that live music is still such an important part of your lives! The value of small venues to their communities should not be underestimated.

An enormous thank you to the Music Venue Trust who have facilitated the purchase of The Booking Hall and who have played such an integral role in securing its future.

And finally, thank you to the bands who have come here to play fundraising events, who have donated their ticket sales and help spread awareness of the cause. British Lion Kris Barras Band THE CHRIS SLADE TIMELINE
