The Gods of Finance did battle with the Gods of Culture. Finance won. We are very sad to announce that the Old Fire Hall has closed its doors. A heartfelt thanks to all who have supported us over the last 3 years. Hopefully someone will resurrect the Old Fire Hall in the near future.

The Old Fire Hall has closed its doors :(
Here's some feedback from musicians who have played at the Old Fire Hall:
"The Old Fire Hall is a unique venue with great staff and a growing following in western BC. I totally enjoyed the gig there" - Harry Manx
"This is one of those special gigs. Zac is a model for presenters and no detail is overlooked. Beautiful space, great food, a soulful
listening room. If you get the chance to play there do not, do not, do not turn it down." - Rankin, Church & Crowe
"The Old Fire Hall is such a beautiful piece of work .... one of the finest live music venues ever. Great vibe, great food, great people ... way to go" - Lester Quitzau
"Congratulations on having one of the nicest venues in the country" - Brad Turner
"The Old Fire Hall is my favourite club in BC. " - Cory Weeds, Owner of the Cellar Jazz Club
"In the top 3 clubs we've played worldwide" - Mark DeJong and the Outer Bridge Ensemble
"One of the best rooms in the country ... a work of genius" - Garnet Rogers
"I have played in many venues over the course of 16 years and I truly can say that many have offered wonderful acoustics, good hospitality and a friendly promoter but none have quite reached the level to that which Zac Gribble and staff at The Old Firehall offer. A pleasurable sound check was followed by a freshly prepared meal of "seafood stuffed chicken" complete with a open selection of locally brewed beer and boutique wines.... and that was before the show started! The Old Firehall is a beautiful venue but what you can't tell from photos is that every inch of the place, including the staff show a level of pride and attention to detail uncommon in this business. The audience was attentive, the acoustics are great and the hospitality is next to none.... a bit "off the beaten path"??? .... maybe...... but not for long." - Wil
"It is not all that often that we get to stumble upon a place that is so gorgeous and as well put together as the Old Fire Hall. We can sometimes see 20 venues in a month and sadly places like this are a rarity and a much needed sanctuary for musicians and patrons alike. We were so thrilled to arrive and meet Zac and his staff who were so kind and professional from the start. The kitchen staff were also incredibly kind, making us one the best meals we have had all year. It easily became one of our top five favourite venues and we are delighted to add it to our western canadian touring." - Po' Girl
