A petition has been created in order to bring back live music being performed at Kettering's oldest Pub.
The Cherry Tree Pub has been told to 'cease' it's live music from the Environmental Health Department (EHD) at the Kettering Borough Council (KBC).
Thousands of musicians and bands have performed at the popular Pub over the years.
Gary Heronsby-Smith, manager of the Pub, made his feelings clear: "This is not over by all means, the fight for live music at The Cherry Tree will continue."
"A meeting was held today between the owners of The Cherry Tree and Environmental Health, I was not asked to attend."
"In their infinite wisdom they have decided between them that all live music will cease forthwith."
The Cherry Tree plays a pivotal role in the up-keeping of the community, with it dating back all the way to the 15th century.
Fans of live music from across all age ranges flock to the pub reguarly to support upcoming, as well as established musicians.

Absolutely devastated with thid ridiculous decision . The Cherry encourages local young talented musicians on their family Sunday afternoon Jam sessions along with more fabulous and friendly jams throughout the week promoting participation from furrher local talented people. In all the years I have regularly attended I have never experienced any trouble. This ludicrous ban on playing live music causes a catastrophic effect on decent peoples livelihood, talent , entertainment and on the majority of the townfolk overall.

ReplyDeleteHas anyone explained the reasoning behind this? Who's being disturbed? Is it to do with sound levels in what is quite a small pub? More details please.
