Fibbers: Live Music Venue

GOING WHERE NO SHED HAS GONE BEFORE...

For the first time in Scarborough and Barnsley, delighted to present Rick Witter and Paul Banks Shed Seven on Easter weekend Sat & Sun April 16 & 17.

Pre-sales Wednesday at https://bit.ly/3GVsTGW and https://bit.ly/RickWitterPaulBanksAcoustic

Played Fibbs three times and every show was a revelation. A staggering catalogue of beautiful songs, the like of which we really will never see again from this wonderful band.

I have no idea how to do this right now, but this afternoon at 2:22; we walked my brother back home to somewhere out there in the ether. Greg died surrounded in the endless love that us and all of you have given him on this journey, and we will never be able to fully express how much it meant to him (and all of us) to have you by our side lifting us up like a winged army. Your messages, your encouragement and your compassion have been our oxygen for the last 5 years.

He was my brother and my best friend, and we did everything together, and it was the greatest honour to be with him as he took one last gentle breath before leaving us. I could have sworn we were limitless... But now that 'is' has become 'was', I need to be mindful that there is still so much majesty out there in the universe, and so much to be thankful for despite the tidal wave of sadness washing over me right now.

We connect on a different level with every human we ever meet; firing synapses, the in-between thoughts and the midnight wanderlust ramblings are the things I'll miss the most. The memory reels that felt like a movie I wanted to live inside forever. I'm so lucky to have had a brother to carve out such impossibly beautiful moments with, and to show me the true meaning of grace, courage and strength.

He is, and always will be in our melodies, and in all the breaths in between, he's in every brush stroke and every piece of art that his mind gave light to... And these are the crutches I'll try my best to lean on when it all feels too heavy.

Death gives birth to a legacy, and it was his wish that he carried on living through your speakers from horizon to horizon, and through the technicolour delights he's left for us to swim in. I'll be singing with him in every blink and every gap and through every teardrop, and I'd love you to do the same, because his life was a chorus and the half life of music is infinite...

Thank you for sharing our grief, and for making it easier to carry at times while you were firefighting battles of your own... and thank you for making Greg such a special person in your lives. I'm so glad we all existed at the same time.

We're only temporary, let's make our temporary extraordinary. x

Legend.

Sorting through old pics for a big Fibbs project 1992 - 2019 - and came across these. The barrier shots are always my favourites. Loads more where these came from, but you'll have to wait...

The Last Days Of Toft Green - where next for Fibbers....?
As the Toft Green era came to end for Fibbers Live Music Venue I took a walk around it with the man who brought so many fantastic musicians to its stage and created so many memorable nights, here and indeed in its previous homes and incarnations on Stonebow. The deconstruction had begun, the famous neon logo had already been dimmed and disappeared, the wreckage of its final party was still strewn amongst seat parts and panels but the last chords and raucous encores of this piece of Fibbers' history still echoed, at least in my head.
Thanks Tim, Aaron, the team at Toft Green and everyone involved in the Fibbers story so far...to the next chapter.

Fibbers on Toft Green has now closed, sorry... We’ve loved this side of the river but there’s somewhere better for us - and we're on the move.

Twenty-seven years and a couple of million tickets later one of the UK’s best, busiest and longest standing live music and club venues is off to a new home.

Can’t tell you where just yet but we think you’ll be blown away. And pleasantly surprised...
