On 13 August 2007 MAMA Group Plc announced the completion of the acquisition of Mean Fiddler Holdings Limited, the company which operates the meanfiddler.com website and the Jazz Cafe, Borderline and Garage venues. Mean Fiddler Holdings Limited is also the largest shareholder in the GAY and GAY Late venues. These businesses join MAMA Group’s existing live music venues: the Hammersmith Apollo, the Forum in Kentish Town, and the 9 (soon to be 10) venues in the Barfly network.
Mean Fiddler Holdings Limited no longer operates the Astoria or the Mean Fiddler venues on the Charing Cross Road. The Mean Fiddler venue will shortly be changing its name [to Astoria 2]. Mean Fiddler Holdings Limited also is no longer involved in the Leeds, Reading, Homelands or Latitude festivals, although these events will continue to use the ‘Mean Fiddler’ name under licence. If you want more information on these venues or events, please visit www.festivalrepublic.com
It is very much business as usual at all of the venues and all pre-existing tickets are unaffected by these changes.
Check back here for more news about the venues in the group and upcoming events soon.
