London venue the Garage is to re-open in March next year.
The building, ownership of which was picked up from Mean Fiddler by MAMA Group PLC in August, will be renovated to the tune of £1m by its new carers.
The capacity will shift to 620 in the main room, 150 in the ‘Upstairs at the Garage’ and 50 more in the ‘Mini Bar’. We don’t know what this is, but it’s where you’ll find us. Exclusive.
“Additionally,” says the press release, “an internal circulation staircase is being added which will enable customers to enjoy all 3 rooms as part of one ‘Club offering’.”
MAMA’s head of live operations promises big things for the Highbury, North London venue:
“The refurbished Garage will be better in every respect than its predecessor - better sound systems, new toilets, better sightlines and so on. The venue will also become fully digitally equipped, so that bands can produce top quality live recordings for on the spot release should they wish to do so.
"We are looking forward to presenting a broad range of new talent and established artists at The Garage from next March.”.
