If you haven’t heard already, The Freebutt is being resurrected, re-launching Monday 24th January. The new-old owners, from The Joiners venue who ran it before the OIB crew took over, are carrying out the soundproofing as we type, and are even promising to do away with the troublesome pillar we often find ourselves stuck behind. A new stage, PA and lighting system are also being brought in. No news on the acts set to play the iconic venue as yet, but we’re keeping our ears to the ground.
