That's looking for it. Punters searching.
We're on about the venue going to the punters, you have to constantly push and get stuff out . Create something .
Sounds like it will be a good night

The person who asked wanted an 'online events listing'. The link takes you to a list of events online. I think that covers their request.

Indeed ,i think he meant if he's following a media page it would be nice to see one posted occasionally . All events can be found with a certain amount of googling . We're just saying it could be better

That's ideal but it should be on there social media pages spelled out clearly without having to click on anything. Just a basic list

On Facebook if I go to pop recs, they've made 4 posts since 23 July

I've suggested many times pinning a post to the top of Twitter.

If I was an ambitious kid at college or just leaving and wanting a career in this sort of thing I'd be round at Pop Recs badgering them to do their socials/websites etc for nothing ( or payment in gig tickets etc) to get it on my CV. It's a venue I'm so pleased we have but their publicity is haphazard at best.

I know a few of them are on leave, I suppose things will slip during the summer months.

Cool for cats was great on Sunday but quieter than usual

I've been to quite a few gigs in Sunderland over the last few years to bands I'd never heard of simply by seeing the gig advertised by the venue.

Every time we go in pop recs for breakfast I always say to owa lass - why don't they have a big blackboard on the wall with all upcoming gigs on , in date order. Simple, effective

I usually spend 5 mins looking at the posters on the wall but sometimes I've either missed the date or it's at a different venue

It would be so simple to do in pop recs. They also have other stuff on like makers markets and community group things , they could list it all in one place and update it once per week ... Maybe an 8 week lookahead. They could take a photo of it and post it on their socials once per week..just somewhere you can see everything, in date order. Simple

Is it ran for profit?

Mention that and you’ll probably be met with a gen z stare
The Stare of course not just specific to pop recs as I was a victim of this in Scarborough a few weeks ago when asking for ice and lemon in a gin abd tonic
I thought the young lass had had a stroke

Unlikely given the owners are mid-late thirties.
