The 84-year-old venue is set to finally reopen next summer.
Wolverhampton Civic halls. Construction work for the interior of the hall is now complete, although bars and all interior work still needs to be done
To cut a long story short, what was supposed to be £10m renovation ended up costing nearly five times as much, with the scheme hampered by a succession of delays involving the discovery of asbestos, a contractor going bust and the Covid-19 pandemic, among other issues. Now finally there is light at the end of the tunnel.
“I absolutely get the frustrations and we have been chomping at the bit to get it open,” Mr Homer told the Star in an interview. “I’m a very impatient person and I wanted to get cracking on it, but things happen, and nothing is ever that straightforward. It was a place where he saw established bands such as The Jam and OMD play seminal shows, but also where up and coming artists would cut their teeth before hitting the big time.He was an entertainment manager at both Keele and Sheffield universities – where he put on shows by artists including Blur and Nirvana – before a three-year stint at London’s Mean Fiddler saw him put on Eminem’s debut UK tour.
“The proof will be in the pudding. I think people who go and see their new favourite band in the Civic will be very impressed and will want to go back.”
