BALMBRA'S MUSIC HALL (EDM587)

BALMBRA'S MUSIC HALL

EDM number 587 in 2003-04, proposed by David Clelland on 09/02/2004.

That this House is shocked to learn of the proposal by Mitchells and Butlers to change the name of Newcastle's most famous music hall, Balmbra's, in order to reflect the common name of the chain of pubs they own; recognises that this is in blatant disregard for the history and culture of Tyneside and is deeply resented by the people of the area; recognises that Balmbra's is know throughout the world by its inclusion in the famous Geordie Ridley song 'Blaydon Races'; and calls upon Mitchells and Butlers to respect local views and Tyneside traditions and ensure that the name of Balmbra's lives on in reality as it does in the hearts and minds of Geordies throughout the world.

This motion has been signed by a total of 37 MPs.
