The Zodiac's refurbishment

[cmannall]

From the latest issue of Nightshift:

"The Zodiac looks set to close for major rebuilding and refurbishment in the middle of May. The venue will hopefully re-open in September with a completely new layout, including a 900-capacity downstairs concert hall. The upstairs venue will have a 400 capacity while there will be a smaller bar venue

Four months?! Crap! That's going to even effect me and I don't live in Oxford haha!

I'm sure the bands that play Zodiac all the time will find an alternative around there? It's a fairly major venue :/

The problem is the size - the Zodiac's two rooms have capacities of 450 and 250. Next up is Brookes Student Union at 1200, and next down is probably the Wheatsheaf at 120. As you can see, losing the Zodiac for four months leaves a big gap in the capacity range, and this can't possibly be good!

Bugger no that's not good! I told my mate Milly who lives in Wallingford and she practically beheaded me haha! Hopefully, by some miracle, they can get it done quicker than they said!
