We are a fully independent, not-for-profit venue - operating for the benefit of artists and audiences.
When buying tickets, please check that you've received them in advance of the gig - we can't always help if you email us on the day itself.
We live in strange times and several local music activists have expressed a wish to show solidarity for the many diverse communities that make up the 21st Century UK. With the blessing of original founder member Roger Huddle, we’re uniting once again under the classic Rock Against Racism Banner to present an eclectic evening of music from some of the north’s finest musicians with a passion for the cause.
Presented in association with The Battle of Stockton Campaign.
