Yesterday I learned of news that the Ship Inn in Preston has suddenly cancelled all of Ready To Rumble Unsigned gigs with immediate effect. Working with Rock On Promo they had gigs booked up every 1-2 weeks for more than 3 months ahead. Something similar happened last year but that was repealed a few months later. That time the Ship Inn went back to doing gigs at the Ship Inn again however this time round it looks like a case of once bitten twice shy. This saddens me because it was a favourite haunt for me and it is where I cut my teeth as a gig photographer for two years. There is some hope because today people gathered together to create a Facebook page called Save Our Scene (SOS). As of now it is very quickly gaining likes.
