A New Bank.

Posted by: man sam In: News

smallYou may have noticed that down Tontine Street a new music/lounging/drinking venue is alive.

Up and running in the now closed Bank Gallery at number 46, Adam, one of the brains behind Orange Street Music Club, Canterbury, has opened up this new sister location.

The S&G team paid a visit on the opening weekend at the end of August, and was very pleased to find the locals making use of the new amenities.

We also paid a visit to the NEW Pullmans. Article coming soon.
