I am sure that most of you are already aware that the Standard will close in December this year, we have had a real blast for the last eleven years and every weekend has been more like a party than work. We are hoping to continue this attitude for the next six months and would like to invite any of our past or present bands wanting to get a final date before we go to please Email me at standardtryst@btinternet.com and we will see what we can do.

I would advise all our customers to check the What’s on Line on 020 8527 1966 for weekly updates. Obviously we have not been able to update the website recently because we ourselves did not have any information until the last few days.

Finally, we would like to send thanks to all our staff who have been very supportive over the years, our fantastic sound guy John, our security team especially our David, deejay Tony, Aunty Lynne and all the fantastic bands many of whom have been with us so many years they are more like friends and family.

Last but by no means least thanks to all our friends and customers all of whom have been helpful and supportive over some very trying times.We hope as many of you can get here in the next six months we really want to go out with a bang, but then we’d like to retire to the Caribbean, all donations gratefully excepted!!!

Love and luck to all

Amanda & Paul
