We just wanted to express our sincere best wishes to Terry & family - & all the team - who made the Springhead one of our countries leading live music venues. Coming from a band who travel the whole of the uk, much of Europe, & USA - to see a previously sucessful venue feel the pinch & feel forced to have to move on is quite sad. Although the S-Pistols experience were never deemed suitable for the venue (too many smashed glasses apparently!??) we do rely on such places to earn our living too - so its also a loss to many bands, like us, who operate on a professional level (although we didnt perform there more than once or twice). I hope the springhead & Hull in general will continue to have people like Terry & Co' who were/are so supportive of the live music scene, not just with tributes, but with the many local original acts & touring bands who graced the stage. BUT it has to be said - these venues need people to support them, to come out & see the bands, even if you've never heard of them, give it a go - its gotta be better than stopping in watching Tv!? If enough people were coming in, & drinking at the bar, then maybe Terry might still of been there for years to come. Hopefully someone else will come along perhaps with a fresh perspective, some new ideas & bring the spirit & life back to the venues former glory days, but this will only happen with the support of the locals. I've had many a great night in the Springhead, seem some fantastic bands & thanks to Terry & staff for all their efforts over the years, & good luck with whatever you go on to do. Hull cannot afford to lose such places, don't let the chav's & noise bar's take over - if there is a lesson to be learnt here its to support your local venue's, or more will surely follow suit, and then there will be no alternative - you'll have to sit in & watch Tv then.!
Best of luck Terry & family.
The S.e.x-Pistols Experience.
