Sadly, Reaganta was the first and last concert for now

We had a great concert on Saturday. Reaganta are wonderful, the atmosphere was amazing, and it was  good to see people we have not seen over the winter.  We are so look forward to the Reaganta Christmas concert in our own Mill in mid December.

 It is however with great regret, that we have decided not to continue with the concerts till we get back into our own building. It took a lot for us to come to this. Last week was the week from hell. With David's company laying off so many in his department, his responsibility to make sure that things keep running, means that he will have more than enough on his plate. I had a big health scare on Thursday, for forty eight hours we thought it was just about as serious as it gets. On Friday night I had a CAT scan and long story short, I am fine. But I can't begin to describe what it was like for David and I facing into something like that, on top of everything else. We are exhausted.  Every week of this crisis has brought fresh challenges and it is showing no sign of abating. We still don't  know if the town will keep helping with the rent, or if we can even stay at the Grill for much longer. We don't know when the Mica building is coming down. The town has now gone to court which means another months delay. We can't run a business not knowing where we are going to be from week to week. It was with a very heavy heart that I wrote to the musicians and cancelled the concerts for April, May and June. They are all wonderful and very sympathetic. The Uncle Steve Band are organizing a benefit for The Mill, on Saturday May 9th. Several bands that play regularly at The Mill, will be playing. Watch this space for more details, and thank you all for your support.
