A POPULAR music night, which has been out of action during the last month, will be starting up again tonight.

Crisis Promotions will be holding its Saturday night events at Worcester Arts Workshop for the next four weeks, while it looks for a more permanent venue.

The event, which is for people of all ages, has a non-alcoholic bar and live music.

Youngsters as young as 12, who attended the night at Worcester City Youth Centre, were left without anywhere to go after its lettings agreement with Worcestershire County Council was not renewed in mid-August.

In September, the council said the night had been temporary, and it could not renew the entertainment licence because of refurbishment work and the large numbers of people it attracted.

Crisis then moved to The Saracen's Head, in The Tything, Worcester, but were told the venue had no entertainment licence when the new licensees took over.

The night was then held at The Apple Tree, Lowesmoor, for people aged 16 plus, until the pub stopped hosting live bands.

Matthew Pugh, manager of the Apple Tree, stopped live music because there were complaints to Worcester City Council's environmental health department about the noise.

But, after a meeting with the council on Thursday, he was advised live music, such as jazz would be suitable for the venue, but not heavy rock.

"He's put in an application to have a live entertainment licence again but with lower energy music," said Bill Saville, principal environmental health officer at the city council.

"We are still looking for somewhere permanent after Christmas," said Ben Turner, a drummer with the band Tribute To Nothing, who runs Crisis Promotions.

"Our night is for all ages and all people."

People who attend Worcester Arts Workshop, Sansome Walk, Worcester tonight will enjoy music from Aura Sun, Second Monday and Hate Trip.

The Crisis night, which starts at 7.30am costs £4 on the door.
