At the end of 2007 we shed a tear as we bid farewell to Fitzroy’s World Famous Rainbow Hotel. An institution in Melbourne’s live music scene and the national blues and roots scene, it was a significant loss for artists and punters alike.
Now, at the beginning of March 2008, we can rejoice because, Ladies and Gentlemen, The Rainbow Hotel is back in business!
