Become a Friend of The Brickmakers for £1.25 per year
Like many of you, we have been scratching our head since the announcement of the possible closure of The Brickmakers, as to something positive we can do. So we have been working on an idea that we think would help secure a route forward for The Brickmakers.
You will no doubt be aware the dilemma the team face of leaving at the end of January owing to an untenable financial situation.
I know the The Brickmakers have been overwhelmed with the public support and social media support of the indelible mark The Brickmakers has made on the City’s music scene. They have proudly contributed to the beating heart of live music in Norwich
Numerous comments have been asked along the lines of “What can I do?” so we have an idea
