Thank you for your messages about the Trades in recent weeks. We are going to be launching our crowdfunder at the end of the month and would really appreciate it if you could share, RT and make a donation if you can.
Thank you for all your supportive messages yesterday. You can help us and venues like us by calling in today and ordering some drinks or food from our kitchen. Without live shows, grassroots venues are hemorrhaging money. We're open from 4pm and would love to see you!

On behalf of the staff and volunteers I'd like to thank you for the love and support you've shown the Trades in the most challenging year in the club's history. Here's to 2021 and to better days ahead for all of us. We will be back.
So many great shows to look back on this year. Thank you to everyone that visited and listened, cheered and danced. We'd love it if you posted with some of your moments at the club. Happy New Year everyone!

Terrible news about

@thisisgorilla

There you have it, folks. In 2018 the UK music industry alone contributed £5.2 billion to the UK economy. We should all pack up and go home, apparently.
Manchester lost John Hall today. He was also an honourary citizen of Hebden Bridge. Those that knew him will never forget him - a tireless cheerleader for emerging artists and a kind, hilarious minister of vibes. We love ya, John! x
