Venue after venue are being destroyed by Property Developers across the country and we wish to highlight our feelings, that this is a plague taking place under our very noses, a plague that is killing the life and blood of the music industry, a plague that if action is not taken NOW we will see the death of the traditional pub venue and potentially have a multi million pound impact on our economy given that this is the starting point for so much UK music talent!!
The latest ‘victim’ could be – if we don’t act now – Cambridge’s ‘legendary’ pub , ‘The Flying Pig’ , a sacred music venue we believe , thanks to Pink Floyd’s ‘Crazy Diamond’ , Syd Barrett and a pub that sums up the problem outdated planning regulations are having and how if not changed the UK economy could suffer.
Quite Great has spent decades working with musicians , helping them on all levels of their progress through the maze that is the music world and the one thing above all else musicians crave is live venues where the very heartbeat of the location resonates with the pulse of music and that is most certainly summed up by’ The Flying Pig’ . This pub epitomises why we believe new planning laws need to be pushed through Parliament urgently, allowing pubs like this to be given a new ‘protected’ status.
