MEDIA ALERT - MEDIA ALERT - MEDIA ALERT
Tuesday February 26th, 2008 (Port Jefferson, NY) -- Please join us this Thursday February 28th at 7:30pm sharp as we petition the Port Jefferson Chamber of Commerce at City Hall to help us keep live music alive in Suffolk County and on Long Island in general ? DON?T LET THEM CLOSE THE VILLAGE PUB FOR GOOD!!!
We simply can?t let The Village Pub end up like My Fathers Place, The Downtown and countless other live music establishments who have been forced out of business over the past 20 years.
The venue is notorious for helping Nine Days, the #1 hit makers who brought the world "Absolutely (Story of a Girl)", local legends who called the Pub home for many years before and after going national.
?The Village Pub was and really still is like a second home to us and our fans. It would be quite a sad day to see it go? said Brian Desveaux, singer/songwriter and guitarist in the band
The Village Pub also holds a special place in many other musicians? and music lovers? hearts; don't let the politicians impose their will upon you, the public. Stand up for your love of the cultural history of Port Jefferson and let the board know they are making a terrible mistake on Thursday February 28th at 7:30pm.
Democracy in action is the most poignant impression you can leave to have your voice be heard. Please come support this important cause!!
