The Yorker can confirm that Tokyo Industries have purchased Tru nightclub, ending months of speculation about the club’s future
The Sports Centre tent will remain open until at least 2016 after City of York Council gave the sports hall an additional six years planning permission at a meeting today.
The parents of student James Alexander Ednie Matthews, who passed away last Wednesday, have said they feel comforted by the tributes his friends have left on his Facebook page.
Club Salvation will be reopening on 12th August following a fire at the club two weeks ago.
Fibbers has been in discussion with YUSU about setting up a dubstep night on Monday for University of York students. The venue, which has seen acts such as Nirvana and Oasis over its 18 year history, already hosts Melt on Saturdays which is popular amongst sections of the student populace.
The club on Stonebow was recently bought by Tokyo Industries who are planning a major renovation and expansion of the venue to increase capacity to 450. Tokyo industries own a number of clubs and bars, most notably Digital in Newcastle.
Students have been positive about a new student night. Adam, a second year history student said “it will be great to get some more variety in the York music scene. Cheese is great but after you hear Baywatch for the fiftieth time you get desperate for a change”.
Turns out this was true!
