Despite continuing success and much love from the Brisbane music community, the Troubie is set to close. For the time being, many questions remain as to what has happened, and what the future now holds, but a truly amazing venue definitely closes its doors before the month is out.
The statement reads:
The Troubadour to close Thursday, November 4th, 2010 2:40 pm
It’s news that will rock the Brisbane music community - the heart and soul of Brisbane’s music community, the iconic The Troubadour will be calling last drinks and closing its doors forever come the end of November.
In what will be a devastating blow to the town with a matter that has gone beyond the control of owners Jamie Trevaskis and Corinna Scanlon, the beloved music venue will close its doors on Sunday, November 21.
More information as to how the venue will be farewelled and why it is closing will be released in the very near future. The Troub crew would like to extend gratitude to every single band, artist and punter who has graced the venue in the last seven and a half years.
The future of “The Troubadour” name and recognisable aesthetic remains uncertain but for now, the dream is over.
