Another Cardiff live music venue has shut its doors for good.

A repossession notice appeared on the Full Moon’s front window on Wednesday stating that it had closed.

And on Wednesday evening a statement was released on the venue’s Facebook page.

It said: “It is with broken hearts that we have to announce that the Full Moon is closed.

“For five and a half glorious years we have been fortunate enough to be a part of the greatest street on the planet helping give a platform to the most amazing music community.

“We have given every ounce of blood, sweat, tears and money we have but following some difficult trading and the current air of uncertainty our creditors have lost confidence in our long term sustainability and taken action.

“This city is home to some of the most wonderfully talented people in the music industry as well as one of the most open minded and informed audiences and we will do everything in our power to reduce the impact on all that have supported us over the years.

“Independent grassroots venues across the country and in our city are generally run on a shoestring by people with huge passion so please support the other treasures we have like Clwb, Fuel, Porters, Gwdihw, Buffalo, the Andrew Buchan and of course the national treasure that is Womanby Street.

“It’s been a wild rollercoaster ride and we have loved every minute, thank you Cardiff, you rock!! Fine music, hard liquor forever.”

The Full Moon is the third venue of its kind to close on the city’s so-called “music street” this year and is a blow to the Save Womanby Street Campaign.

The protest group was formed to protect the future of music venues in the area threatened as a result of planning permission given for a Wetherspoons hotel, a proposed residential development next door to Clwb Ifor Bach, and a noise complaint against rock bar Fuel.

Darren Floyd, 45, from Roath, a regular at the club, said: “It is heartbreaking. I think it’s going to have a really big impact on the live music scene. It is another blow for Womanby Street.”

In January, neighbouring bar The Moon Club was closed and replaced by The Bootlegger and in February the iconic Dempseys closed its doors to make way for a complete overhaul by the pub’s owners SA Brain.

The Save Womanby Street campaign has been set up to urge Cardiff Council and the National Assembly to protect Cardiff’s ‘music street’ as an area of cultural significance.

The campaign has received support from local MPs Kevin Brennan and Jo Stevens, who want to establish special designation for areas like Womanby Street to restrict nearby residential development.
