LIVE MUSIC UNDER THREAT

    Live music is under attack by the Powers to be, your help is needed NOW!!!

    There are two issues, The Globe is under threat and so are venues with two or less artists.  The Globe is under threat and would like your signature to a petition to Hounslow Council the next time you visit.  below is the text of the petition.

    Thank you for your support over ten years of FREE LIVE MUSIC

    Early in February this nearly came to an end. We feel that our business rates do not take into consideration the entertainment we provide for the COMMUNITY, (and further a field) and the fact that we use our own profits to provide it. As other bills are estimated from our business rates our costs spiral.

    We have asked HOUNSLOW COUNCIL for a fair rate that will enable us to continue in business and retain LIVE MUSIC. Your signatures on this petition may help us in our plea.

    Thanks to you all, KEEP MUSIC LIVE!!!

    CHARLIE & BEATA.

KEEP MUSIC LIVE!!!
