SAVE THE FOUNDRY!
jbenwell by James Benwell June 8th, 2001
Birmingham's premiere music venue, The Foundry is set to be demolished within the coming month. If this action is allowed to continue, Birmingham will lose it's only showcase for alternative music.

Over the years, the Foundry has played host to the likes of Nirvana, Rancid, Good Riddance, No Use For A Name, 88 Fingers Louie, Goldfinger, Mad Caddies, Reel Big Fish, Voodoo Glow Skulls, New Found Glory as well as a huge number of up and coming local bands from around the UK.

With it's last ever show scheduled to be a Lost Prophets gig on July 2nd, if any protest is going to happen, it has to happen now. So PLEASE show your support by signing one of a number of petitions which have been organised. If you don't live in Birmingham or can't be bothered to move away from your computer screen, visit: Save the Foundry!

Please leave a message, the Foundry means a great deal to a lot of people.
