“Hello. Sorry to bother you but we’ve got important news. The rumours are true. The Boatclub is shutting down. Our loyal gig goers have very little interest in boats, so we’re not getting our license back. Added to that some developer is taking a wrecking ball to the place in the new year to build some swanky new apartments. Asshole. Anyway we’re shutting down in just over a month and we’d really appreciate your support at all the gigs before we go. There’s bills to be paid! All the gigs are on the profile (there’s loads) and if it’s okay I might post some on your page another time (if that’s not okay, just say so!) Thank you for all your support. Please post a comment on our profile if you have a favourite memory and we might put them all together for nostalgia’s sake. Thanks again. The LBC boys."
