The venue is licensed as a retail art gallery so according to their activities don`t comply with the license. The City is worried about safety , but the volunteers of The Gallery said that there is no license in the city for places like this one because they are a hub for all arts. Most of the neighbours support the place and it has endorsements from all sorts

I have spent the last 10 years or so investing my time into different projects, each one quite unique. From Funk/Jazz to Folk/roots and even the occasional grunge band. Some local acts include: Colin Bullock, Cowboys and Indians, the Reckoners, Greg Neufeld, and a few more; hopefully more to come! continue to check back to see the latest endeavours, as I’m always looking for new musical adventures, like playing drums on a raft raging down the mighty thompson… mmm maybe with a cheap kit
