The Penny Theatre
Jake Meades, 19, a student at Kent University has been playing live music in Canterbury for just over a year now.
Although he reiterates his love for playing in the city, he does suggest: "Pubs in Canterbury are pretty good. A lot are too small for live bands and it's really hard in the current climate to get a music licence, especially as Canterbury shuts at like two."
The Penny Theatre had been one of those venues that struggled for a music licence, as being near a residential area created complications due to many house owners not wanting extra noise in the evenings.
Christina Perry, 42, from New Ruttington Lane, lives near the pub said: "Over a year ago we received a letter from the Penny Theatre that they intended to apply for a new music licence. We signed a petition against it, but we lost anyway. Thankfully the noise in the evenings isn't as loud as we thought it would be."
