Press Release: Thursday 29th March 2012

Save The Bongo Club

Following Edinburgh University's decision to prematurely end the Bongo Club's lease, thousands of Bongo Club supporters have signed petitions, joined the F'book campaign and the appended quotes have poured in from* *MP's, MSP's, Councillors, University staff and students, artists, performers, musicians, and of course from many of the thousands of people who attend the Bongo Club each year. Many press articles have explored the decimation of Edinburgh's music scene. The message is clear - Save The Bongo Club as a vital part of Edinburgh's cultural infrastructure

Out of the Blue are now calling on the University for the Bongo Club to remain at Moray House until September 2013 and for a long lease on the Old Kirk on the corner of St John Street and Holyrood Road. The kirk has been unused and boarded up by the University for over 5 years.*
