An Open Letter to the UK Government We Are the Owners and Operators of the UK’S Grassroots Music Venues An Open Letter to the UK Government We are the owners and operators of the UK’s Grassroots Music Venues. Our Grassroots Music Venues are the fundamental foundations and cornerstone on which our world beating £5.2 billion per year music industry has been built for the last 60 years. Without our Grassroots Music Venues, there would be no Beatles. No Stones, no Led Zeppelin, no Duran Duran, no Sade, no Oasis, no Skunk Anansie, no Adele, no Ed Sheeran, no Dua Lipa. Our Grassroots Music Venues are absolutely essential to the whole UK music industry bouncing back at any time in the future. Our sector delivers training, rehearsal spaces, recording opportunities and career development to thousands of young people and are essential to our communities. We do not just support the next generation of world beating artists. Grassroots Music Venues are where people come together, where they celebrate, where they socialise. Thousands of cultural professionals get their first taste of working in the creative industries in our venues, including many of those who go on to work in areas other than music. Grassroots Music Venues sit at the very heart of our creative nation. Public Health advice is clear. Singing is a high-risk activity. Dancing is a high-risk activity. Standing close to other people is a high-risk activity. Being in a confined space for a long period is a high-risk activity. These are the four pillars of the live music experience we offer in our venues. Coming together with friends and communities to dance and sing with your favourite artists in any of the 800 grassroots music venues across the UK is the very core and purpose of why we exist. Last year there were more than 175,000 events in our venues that gave people the experiences they love and the artists the opportunities they need. Since 20 March there have been no events. This is because our sector has complied with the Public Health guidance. We did the right thing. We closed to protect our communities. We engaged with the government task force and we explored every option available to reopen safely and bring live music back. We understand that in order to protect the public, it should not be done until the health guidance changes and we also know that trying to do it is economic folly which would be financially ruinous; not just for us but for our entire sector. It is now time for the government to do the right thing. We are represented by Music Venue Trust, who have laid out a simple clear plan to the government of the support our sector needs to survive the next three months (July, August, September) and to recover in the future. It consists of just two steps. 1. A £50 million financial support package immediately 2. A reduction on VAT on future ticket sales, bringing tax in UK Grassroots Music Venues into line with our major international competitors These measures are simple, quick, effective and would prevent the closure of hundreds of Grassroots Music Venues. They are the right thing to do. We are a dynamic, innovative, and inventive sector. We do not need permanent government intervention to exist. We are not asking to become a permanently subsidised drain on the public purse. We do not need the government to step in and tell us how to run our venues. We need government to take two simple steps and leave us to work out how to do the rest. We need you to do the right thing.

  • PETREAN NEWS SUMMER 2010 by Ann Munro, Development Officer
    PETREAN NEWS SUMMER 2010 By Ann Munro, Development Officer Welcome to a belated edition of Petrean News, which has been delayed due to the late circulation of the Peterhouse Newsletter in March. Since November 2009 Alison Pritchard-Jones has been painstakingly sifting through the PIFs (Personal Information Forms). The response to this circulation has been enormous and we are very grateful for your replies. The on-line Register has been temporarily suspended to make it compatible with the new web pages, but if you wish to up- date your contact details, or if there is someone you wish to contact, please get in touch with Alison at [email protected]. A memorial service was held for Neil Plevy, Fellow and Development Director, on 1st May 2010. Tea followed the service, and it was good to see so many members present. As a tribute to our ‘much-missed boss’, the photographs below are our particular favourites. The first shows Neil indulging in his favourite habit in 2002 (before the smoking ban). The second shows Neil at the special launch ceremony of the new shell for the Men’s 1st VIII, named Wilson of Tillyorn in honour of the outgoing Master, Lord Wilson of Tillyorn on Sunday 15th June 2008, sharing a joke with the Dean, The Revd Dr Stephen Hampton, and Lady Wilson. Trevor Hurst Jet Photographic RECENT EVENTS AND ACTIVITIES Telephone Campaign For the sixth successive year, the Development Office held its annual telephone campaign in January, with 12 current undergraduates and graduates spending over 340 hours in conversation with their Petrean predecessors! We were delighted and thrilled by the overwhelmingly positive response and generosity shown by our members, and again despite the adverse economic climate, your munificence exceeded our expectations, raising over £175,000 in support of current strategic priorities, with further donations still trickling in.

THE LAST DAYS CHAPTER I THE EARLY DAYS Richard Harding Davis was born in Philadelphia on April 18, 1864, but, so far as memory serves me, his life and mine began together several years later in the three-story brick house on South Twenty-first Street, to which we had just moved. For more than forty years this was our home in all that the word implies, and I do not believe that there was ever a moment when it was not the predominating influence in page 2 / 485 Richard's life and in his work. As I learned in later years, the house had come into the possession of my father and mother after a period on their part of hard endeavor and unusual sacrifice. It was their ambition to add to this home not only the comforts and the beautiful inanimate things of life, but to create an atmosphere which would prove a constant help to those who lived under its roof--an inspiration to their children that should endure so long as they lived.

One of the organisers, resident Max Hopper, a former chief commissioner at Bass Coast Shire Council, said it was ‘inappropriate and totally unac- ceptable to take a popular foreshore park as the service centre for rally cars’. ‘If that is allowed, Kingscliff resi- dents can expect that our beachfront park will be the centre for wild par- ties with many revelers sleeping in the park and the dunes,’ the Order of Australia (OAM) recipient said. ‘There is no way that Council will be able to enforce its rules on alcohol consumption, open fires and protec- CPM founding member Michael Baartz at the printmakers workshop in Bray Park.

His decorating for every wall at home was a different colour, not just rooms – the walls themselves. He was an artist Crazy first, a musician second. It’s a shame he became sidetracked by music, in a way,” Rosemary says. Cambridge was a place that he loved, Diamond many of his early Pink Floyd tunes Edition arts columnist Ruthie Collins featuring haunting beauty spots such as The Beechwoods and the Gog Magog looks at the life of Cambridge’s most Hills. Years later, willow-fringed Cambridge famous musical son, Pink Floyd still has a timeless, naïve innocence, with a creative scene shaped by intellectuals, frontman Syd Barrett musicians, eccentrics and artists reaching for the stars, but many creating art because of something innate to their souls. Syd Barret is, to many, as Cambridge Live’s operations director Neil Jones says, “Cambridge’s most famous musical son”, leaving many fans wondering why it’s taken such a long time for Cambridge to recognise Syd so publicly. “I’m glad that it Barrett’s influence can be seen across took so long. I wouldn’t have allowed it any pop culture – from David Bowie to Blur, other way. He wouldn’t have wanted it,” his stand-out style winning admiration says Rosemary. “He just didn’t understand from the likes of Mary Quant and Mick why people were so interested. He only did Jagger. Neil Jones comments: “We hope it all for fun.” that visitors to the Corn Exchange enjoy “He loved painting nature, pastorals, the the commemorative artwork and we’re English countryside,” says Rosemary.
