Goodbye Denmark St - thanks for all the fish

Post by get_with_it »

So . . . . thought the DAM forum should know first . . officially anyway

We're closing Macari's on Denmark Street in the 14th July

why ?

just a bit fed up really - the street is like a building site - everything is filthy and there are pile drivers going when you're trying to sell an acoustic guitar plus the rent isn't going down

BUT IT'S NOT A BIGGIE

The Charing Cross Road shop is still rocking along and me and Steve will still be there with coffee for all fuzz addicts who are in town

You probably know there have been no less than 9 Macaris locations over the 50 odd years we've been around , so we may return to Denmark Street one day - who knows - we'll see

So , if you're in London in the next 4 weeks , please come and say hi and wave the old girl goodbye

bring your earplugs !!!

:)

hectic - how long have you been on Denmark St...?

I visited years ago - was great...

it should be preserved kinda like what they want to do with Savil Row.

Ahh end of an era eh?! But hey running a business is tough let alone in an environment you're not happy in.

Enjoy the next few weeks guys!

Good luck with everything, Ant. Surroundings may change but as… erm, the Village People might say, you can't stop the music! :crackjam:

Good decision, got to be done...

Popped down to see [repairer] Andy Gibson in the basement last week and I couldn't believe the conditions he was working under. Fuuuuu... what a bomb site...

They've just ripped the shit out of that building. It was the Beatles office, for heaven's sake. So shameful what's happened to the street.

But... onwards and upwards :tu:
