Your so right mate, its these kind of venues get get a fanbase going, gets the word spread, get bands bookings. Its a disgrace such places are being targeted, its not like The Cooperage was ina quiet part of town, its full of bars, traffic and drinkers a real big nightlife scene.
There is a Cooperage is Plymouth I bet thats next to go, it has the same vibe with live bands on all the time.
