'CO2 was £13.50, now it’s £37.50. Pints should be £8.50': How two music venues secured their future in 'hard' times
Two Manchester music venues look to have secured their futures after receiving thousands in grant funding.
“We have grown as a business but our costs have gone up. The electric bill has gone up from £1,000 to £4,000 per month. We had to turn off the pizza oven. A bottle of CO2 was £13.50, now it’s £37.50. Pints should be £8.50. We are not going bankrupt, it’s just hard.” “At Rebellion, we have carved our niche as a metal venue. Getting bands over from the US and Canada has been really good for us,” he told the M.E.N. “We have struggled to get into the club market, though. We don’t have the consistency of club nights, and with rising costs, to stay semi-profitable means [we need to] have a gig and a club night every Friday and Saturday. Our club nights are quite lacking.
