Like everyone else, I’m gutted about this. I must admit I wasn’t sure at the start about gigs moving from The Knights to the Westgarth but I was soon won over. We’ve had many, many a happy night in there and seen some absolutely brilliants acts (praise here to TKASG as well as the venue itself).
And, as much as I also love The Chapel, their new room doesn’t strike me as being anywhere near as big as upstairs in The Westgarth. (Happy to be proved wrong though).
Is there anything that can be done to save The Westgarth? I know we’re not quite on a par with Sheffield and The Leadmill, but surely we can’t just roll over and let this little gem sink without trace?
