SAVE THE FREEBUTT : UPDATE 25/06
The management of The Freebutt would like to announce that following discussions with Environmental Health, there will be an assessment of the situation next week. At this time, the limiter will be reset and a full acoustic survey will be carried out. We are pleased to say that the complainant is willing to allow the independent acoustic specialists ’24 Acoustics’ access to their property for this. Once this assessment has been carried out, we will be able to relay a full & comprehensive update on the future of the venue.
SAVE THE FREEBUTT - WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT!!
Due to noise issues in our surrounding area, The Freebutt is under threat from possible action from Brighton & Hove Council and Environmental Health that could make it impossible for us to have live bands play here; effectively closing the venue. If this happens then Brighton will lose one its longest running and most iconic venues, as well as causing the loss of jobs for The Freebutt staff.
If you want independent music to stay strong in Brighton please support us by signing a petition to Brighton & Hove Council stressing the importance of The Freebutt to Brighton and the music scene, and why it should be aloud to stay open and solve it's noise problems.
