saom
Proven live music format
Community grown around it
Strong work ethic between founders
Abumdant ambition and ideas

Cost of venue hire stunting growth
100% volunteer run

Notes
Live music industry is too dependent on alcohol sales
Arts education is over-priced with diminishing value

Proposal
Buy, rent or build a venue
Half studio space, half event space
Revenue from hiring out plus tickets, drinks and food pay bills

Buy or build preferable as closure of loved spaces too common
Iklektik (Paradise Yard), SET Social (pending), Avalon Cafe (pending), Hop Kingdom… Renting more affordable but very high

South East London - Peckham, New Cross, Camberwell, Walworth, Deptford, Dulwich, Bermondsey
Peckham feels ideal due to existing interest in the area and a relative gap in the market for live music
