Special thanks to all the dozens of wonderful staff who I have had the pleasure of working with at both venues and Sub Zero Music and all of the other  hundreds of other fabulous talented musicians who have appeared at both venues and last but not least the thousands of loyal customers who have supported us all over the past 26 years, I hope we have done a good job and entertained you well.
