"Scotlands Best Live Venue 2007"

	Doghouse Opening Party in The Courier	82 dni temu
	THE DOGHOUSE, one of Dundee’s best-known live music venues, opens it doors once again this weekend, albeit in a different place. A converted church in Ward Road has been leased for 10 years to Sarah Hill, who managed the old premises on Brown Street. A private party was held in the new venue last night to herald the dawn of a new era for the Doghouse. Local group Lefty and Friends helped christen the new venue by playing a set. They were joined on stage by local experimental group Hanney. Tonight the premises will be officially opened to the public with performances by upcoming acts such as The Twist and The Brogues. Ms Hill said, “We have created a place for new bands struggling for creative space to create new music.” She tipped several local acts who have frequently played and rehearsed at the original venue, such as The Law and Luva Anna, for great things. Stevie Anderson, guitarist with The Law, congratulated Ms Hill on securing the new venue before his set with Lefty and Friends. He said, “The Doghouse has played a big part in the success of The Law, as we were allowed to use the old venue to rehearse for free, and when we played gigs the crowds were always receptive. “Sarah’s done a really good job with the new venue and I’m sure it will still be an important part of the Dundee music scene.” Brian Harris, vocalist with Hanney, said he felt the spirit of the original Doghouse would live on. He said, “The Doghouse is much more than just a building; it’s a community of people who love music —it’s the people there who make it what it is.” ==== And tonight Saturday, Grand Public Opening The Brogues + The Twist + Eh! + Stowaways
