NEWSFLASH!!!!
Save The Mindsweeper!!!
We're sad to be the bearers of bad news friends!!! A collective 'boooooo' and the occasional 'wtf??' was heard across south east London last month when the word spread about the recent fire on board Greenwich's only floating venue, The Mindsweeper ! This boat has played host to all manner of weird and wonderful art, music, film, dance and cabaret events over the past five years and they've curated an open, genuine, supportive environment in which creativity in all it's forms can come together. The team there, led by Camden McDonald, have worked tirelessly to create and maintain this excellent space, and now, sadly, have had to put things on hold while the damage is being assessed and repaired. The video below will give you a better idea of how things stand, and The Mindsweeper's site has a load more info, please do check it out.
Anyways, to help put things right we're working closely with Camden and his contingent, along with Exploding Cinema and Utrophia to bring you Fire In The Hold! - a benefit show for The Mindsweeper . This mighty happening takes place next Friday (16th November) at Climate Of Change in Southwark, kicking off at 8PM.
