Catford was opened 18 long months and although a disaster financially, we had some amazing nights downstairs and the art was always good. It is 7 years since I took the lease on Brockley and anyone who knew Brockley in 2001 can imagine the ‘umming and ‘arring about whether to invest in such an area. In retrospect, it was probably the success of Brockley that led to the error of opening in Catford. All the sites were derelict and I really loved creating the blank canvases that local artists, performers and staff decorated over the years. It has been a good journey with hundreds and hundreds of performances, of all guises, under our belts and the upfront or behind the scenes involvement in the many festivals that have taken place. My frustration with Lewisham Council never diminishes that no one there can see the untapped black gold, which is the Lewisham creative scene. If only they could see the potential of the creative triangle that is New Cross, Brockley and Deptford we could have our own London Dubai displaying extraordinary creativity rather than hotels! Thanks for everything and keep this amazing site going and promoting the best SE has to offer.

I hope someone else can pick up the baton and carry on.Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09136986502003206674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8650332.post-35174967110636834362008-12-22T15:11:00.000+00:002008-12-22T15:11:00.000+00:00I still have't gotten over the loss of the origina...I still have't gotten over the loss of the original Moonbow's in New Cross!bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15439386754907203808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8650332.post-5254503139267385752008-12-18T22:38:00.000+00:002008-12-18T22:38:00.000+00:00Totally agree - love the place and shall miss it ...Totally agree - love the place and shall miss it if it does go.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
