With help from WHQ's many supporters & our chums at the Arts Council Covid Recovery Fund, thankfully, we somehow made it through the dark days of 2020/21 pandemic lock down by the absolute skin of our teeth..! We sincerely thank everyone of you who rooted for us.
The Club is now back, mad busy & well into one of the most exciting years we've ever programmed. It's great news for everyone, so check out 'What's On' where advance tickets are available for all future shows & come & celebrate youth, love, music & inclusivity with us real soon.
