Taylor John's House wins best live venue in Godiva Awards
Gigs // Steve // 30th October 2007
Congratulations to the crew behind Taylor John's House at the Canal Basin in Coventry - winners of best live performance venue in Coventry and Warwickshire at this years' Godiva Awards.
It could be particularly timely because after the loss of the sister venue Tin Angel's entertainment licence in summer (apparently due to a noise complaint, in Spon Street of all places...), they're now in financial trouble. The current plan is to turn Taylor John's House into a non-profit community arts centre. Hopefully this award will throw some light on their situation and generate some further investment.
I think it's a real shame they couldn't run it as a profit-making business, but their focus is specialist and their audience is limited in Coventry. More info at their Save the Tin Angel and Taylor John's House campaign page.
Anyway, I'll be there at the Circus event tomorrow for the rampaging beast that is Jim and Invitation to Love.
