Cherry Bar Burns

A few days old but was shocked to wake up to here one of my favorite bars Cherry Bar, has been gutted by fire (along with other offices in the same building including Jamie Oliver offices). This is a bit of a shame since the bar has recently reopened after being shut for a month with license issues. Was looking forward to going back there for soul night and Fridays, but unfortunately this wont happen for a while. Hopefully the place wont be torn down to create the latest apartment block and will open sometime again in the future.

Check out the full story here.

SOUL NIGHT IS A GO

I bumped into Vince Prince of PBSfm Soul Time fame who does the soul nite at Cherry, and confirmed that Cherry is back and running, and is a little quiet due to the four weeks while it was closed. I'm pumped as for me the best Soul Night in Melbourne, get behind it this Thursday and hopefully every Thursday for a long time to come.

SOMEWHAT CRAPPY MUSIC NEW’S

Neil Rogers Triple R show The Australian Mood celebrates 25 years of playing Australian only tunes. The age article found here.

The guy I sit next to at work recommends Aceyalone who support the Dr Octagon (kool keith) gig at the Espy, he also sad the Espy is the best place to see a gig, but I would say no as the beer is way to expensive there.

Also I recently walk past the Rob Roy the other night and saw that it has now been leased, what could we see there next? I’m shore I read somewhere that they’ll be doing gig’s again, but probably a rumour.
