Latest on The Bowery, Edinburgh
By Milo | November 10, 2009
Hey all,
After an amazing year in our Edinburgh basement, the Bowery has decided it is time to emerge, chrysalis like, into the real world. As of December 14th, we will not longer be running in the basement of the Roxy. We’ve decided that with things changing in the running of the building, it would suit us more to run the Bowery as an outside promotions company and random purveyor of wild parties.
We’d like to thank everyone for your support over the past year. It’s been an amazing time and we are gobsmacked at what we’ve managed to achieve. Although it’s been a killer amount of work, it’s been incredibly exciting creating a space which has become so cherished in the music community, having the opportunity to put on acts like Diane Cluck as well as the local bands we love. We hope you’ll carry on drinking with us wherever we are and raise a teacup of gin with us long into the future.
The building will continue running as an independent arts and music venue after we leave. Our landlords, the EUS, aren’t kicking us out to give over the space to a commercial enterprise. They’ve helped support our existence over the past year because they believe in the values we’ve built the Bowery on – supporting grass-roots promoters, local suppliers and small intimate gigs as well as more financially viable ones – and they’ll continue these principles in the running of the space. So please all keep on supporting the independent local scene, wherever it may be.
Although this is sad in some ways as it’s the end of an era for us, we’re excited about the future and the new great things we’ll be doing over the next year. Keep in touch, and come down soon for a drink with us before we go!
Love and red lipstick,
Jane and Ruth
