Stafford shops opening - Turning into a boom town?

[proactive]

Work going on in the old Butter Knife café this afternoon. Hopefully whoever is taking it on isn't going to keep it as a café...

Couldn't be any worse than it was as a café and to be honest, there aren't that many Indian takeaway's round that part of town...

What kind of café doesn't have air con, went in once for a bacon sandwich just to check the place out, came out smelling of the kitchen, never again.

I’d quite like a sushi place but that’s probably a bit niche for Stafford...

New live music and tribute venue coming next year.

We've already got a live music venue, but that's aimed more at the punk/rock/metal type

there's space for tribute bands/more poppy stuff too so I guess it'll be good?

Staffords first and only dedicated tribute act venue opening in 2021...
405 person capacity , live pa , lights , 30ft video wall large raised stage and more all on site.
Green room and accommodation on site

big place- with accomodation on site ? 405 capacity, hmm shouldn't be really hard to guess but I can't think

Doncaster, whilst an awful place in the main, has redeveloped one of its market halls into a pop up shop and food place. In the evenings (pre Covid) they'd have live music on and it was always packed. Something like that would be great.
