The motion

That the Parliament congratulates The Bungalow, an independent live music venue in Paisley, on winning Best Led Music Venue of the Year at the Scottish Licensed Trade News Awards; understands that The Bungalow's legacy began in the late 1970s with artists playing such as The Fall and the Clash but that it closed its doors in the early 1980s; notes that in 2008, The Bungalow reopened, hosting artists such as Jerry Rafferty and Paolo Nutini; recognises that The Bungalow is a community interest company and that it re-invests its profits to subsidise grassroots arts events and allows music and events management students to use their venue at no cost; understands that as well as running ticketed events, it also puts on free afternoon gigs and open mic nights aiming to inspire up-and-coming artists to fulfil their musical talents and dreams; congratulates The Bungalow once again on this fantastic achievement, and wishes it the best of luck in the future.
