    We've launched a crowdfund as we need to ask for your help. We're committed to paying our staff in full for as long as possible but due to rent and this top up for staff it's costing us £25k a month to keep our doors shut. Any help would mean the world: crowdfunder.co.uk/save-the-lexin…

    Like many grassroots music venues this week we’re happy to announce that we secured funding from Arts Council England's Cultural Recovery Fund. Whilst very welcome, unfortunately we were awarded under 40% of the funding we applied for. Our full statement below...

    We're joining forces with @musicvenuetrust and 30 underfunded grassroots music venues in critical danger across the UK to raise £1.73m to help us all survive to March 2021 so we can continue to support artists at the earliest stages of their careers! crowdfunder.co.uk/help-the-lexin…

    Incredible response to the call to support music venues today. Gig goers and musicians from across the spectrum have really made it clear how much they value our most cherished and yet most endangered cultural spaces #LetTheMusicPlay #saveourvenues theguardian.com/business/2020/…

    Hey @RishiSunak you might want to actually do some research before plucking numbers from thin air, you're supposed to be a numbers man after all... Our rent is £140k PA. Pub Rents in 2021, a very brief overview: morningadvertiser.co.uk/Article/2021/0…

    We're asking the UK governement to #LetTheMusicPlay by providing a support package for the UK live industry in order to #SaveOurVenues. GMVs are the backbone of the UK music industry, employing tens of thousands people and generating billions for the UK economy!

    We're getting involved in the #nopubnorent campaign. The live music and pub industries are desperately chasing rent breaks whilst we're shut and unable to trade. Without rent relief many spaces like ours may never reopen and millions of jobs will be lost! Pls RT! @NoPubNoRent
