Hello friends of the Moth Club!
We got some great news this morning! WE’VE DONE IT! The second planning application next to the venue has been refused now too!
Back in March, we said we weren’t out of the woods yet. This is the news we’ve all been waiting for. Thanks so much to everyone who helped us with the case, got the word out and kept coming along to support grassroots music!
Thank you to Hackney Council and the planning department. We really appreciate the due diligence on this. And thank you to the Mayor of Hackney, Zoë Garbett, and her team, and to Cllr Sam Mathys and Cllr Alastair Binnie-Lubbock, for coming down to the venue and backing grassroots music in Hackney. Thanks also to Laura-Louise Fairley and the Hackney Green Party for standing with us and pushing on forward at a pivotal stage.
Of course, a massive thank you to everyone who crusades to support nightlife every single day. We couldn’t have done it without Hackney Nights, Save Our Scene, the NTIA, and the Music Venue Trust for everything they’ve done for us.
To the 35,000 of you who signed our petition, thank you! You made sure we were heard, and we did it together. We love you all! To the artist and media outlets who got on board too, you’re all amazing.
We also said that if this one was refused, we were envisaging the greatest party Moth has ever witnessed. We meant it. Watch this space.
Remember, this was never just about Moth Club. It’s about every space like ours, in every town and city on the planet. If we can do it here, we can do it anywhere.
We got there, and we plan to stay here.
Thank you!
Edie Andrews & Keith Miller and everyone at Moth Club
