The Owl is home not only to Dan Hawcroft and his family but also to some amazing live music over the last few years. It's being forced to close at the end of Jan to probably be destroyed & made into flats. See their Facebook page for all the details.This is an important venue; many hundreds of bands have played here. We need to do what we can to help Dan and his team through this tough time, show them the love and thanks that we feel and pay it back. Let's find a new Owl for them to rule.

The Owl Sanctuary is an independent music venue in Norwich beloved by our community and many bands from all over the world. Its DIY ethos is an inspiration to us all. From playing host to Slaves' first sold out gig to being the base for the Norwich Soup Movement, Dan and his team have brought us more love and live music than we ever thought possible. Norwich prides itself on its independence and community spirit. It's time for us to give some cash to help Dan and The Owl to move forward.

Hopefully sometime in 2016

We will give whatever money raised to Dan to appropriate as he sees fit.
