告別一位本地音樂瑰寶，他曾搖滾舞台16年之久。

The Hunter Club in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, has been a beloved music venue for 16 years, giving new musicians and bands a place to perform and connect with fans. Since opening in 2009, the club has hosted many gigs and events, helping local talent grow and bringing people together through music. The venue is run as a community interest company, which means it focuses on harmonic goals rather than just making money.

Recently, the owner, Nick Pooley, announced with great sadness that the Hunter Club would close its doors on 28 March, just before losing its current location on 1 April. In a heartfelt message, Nick thanked everyone who had supported the club over the years, including performers, staff, volunteers, and the wider community. He said that building and running the club had been his passion for 16 years, and he was grateful for all the support. Nick apologized for the diverse impact the closure might have and expressed his appreciation for the patience and understanding shown by everyone involved.

The Hunter Club was more than just a music venue. It also served as a recording studio, where young creatives could record music or even make podcasts. The club had recently invested in new equipment, and Nick promised that this equipment would continue to benefit the community. He said that event organizers and promoters in Bury St Edmunds would still be able to use the equipment, ensuring that the spirit of the club would live on. People who bought tickets for events after the closure would get refunds, and musicians scheduled to perform would be contacted. Nick encouraged everyone to support the club in its final weeks.

However, there was some confusion when the BBC reported that the Hunter Club was closing for good. It turned out that the club itself would remain open, but Nick Pooley, the manager, was leaving. The BBC corrected its mistake and apologized for any confusion or harm caused. The Hunter Club continues to be an important part of the local music scene, supporting artists and bringing people together.
