Manic Street Preachers’ Nicky Wire calls for Blackwood venue to be saved

Geoff Cripps was in the band The Chartists and now sits on an advisory panel for the institute.

He said artists and performers have been in touch with him to try and keep the venue open, and fears if it is mothballed it will not reopen.

“Miners used to pay from their wages every week to sustain these buildings, as a place of recreation, as a place of learning,” he said.

“But it has a future as well, it’s not just about the past – given the state of high streets in the UK at the moment, what people are looking for is a different offer, and in fact a different offering in their communities – so they don’t always have to go to the big city for their entertainment”.

A petition has been launched to try and keep the venue open.
