Brighton’s Freebutt to return
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 10 December 2010
Oh, so this is good news. Brighton live music haunt the Freebutt, which stopped hosting gigs earlier this year because of licensing problems over noise leakage claims, has announced it is reopening in the New Year as a gig venue.
There seems to be a new team managing the revamped venue, and they posted on the venue’s website yesterday: “Yes, the Brighton Freebutt is to reopen in 2011, 24 Jan to be exact! With some special launch shows to remind us everything great about the Freebutt. The limiter and sound issues that have caused the council action are in the process of being rectified and we are currently working on changes to the infamous ‘pillar’ for all your viewing pleasure. We are also rebuilding the stage and fitting a new PA and lighting system”.
They add that they will relaunch the Freebutt website very soon and post a programme of events planned for the weeks following the reopening. Meanwhile, they note that the Freebutt’s former management team are promoting one last show at Brighton’s Audio venue this Saturday with Furyon, Imicus and OAF.
