I know many posters live away from Lincoln, but I see tonight the Council have voted to withdraw their funding of the Drill Hall. This will mean it will have to close which I think is a real shame for Lincoln. In it’s current incarnation I’ve attended many different events there from comedy to music, shows to amateur productions so I think is a real sad day for Lincoln
Drill Hall
- Thread starter Red Wimp
- Start date
I think this was on the agenda before coronavirus.
We've seen quite a few things there. A sad day for culture in Lincoln but if the people of Lincoln prefer the latest Superhero film to a live play or band, so be it.
We live in a dumbed down culture that voted in an idiot as a Prime Minister and for Brexit.
You get the government and culture you vote for.

A gift from one of the city's benevolent entrepreneurs.
I went in a few times -
Ideal Home Exhibition
City School Speech days (2)
Wrestling (2-3)
My dad (and others of the firm, owned incidentally by Bob Dorrian's grandad) had the pleasure of painting it inside. He said they "lashed ladders together" to reach the top.

No thoughts really as it's 55 years since I was there. In an ideal world, everything would be the same as it was when we were 10 years old but that's not the way things go.
I can bemoan the closure of the pubs I used to go in but, again, they can't stay open on the off chance that I will one day return to them. The government I once voted for inserted the final nail in pub's coffins, although the wedge had begun to taper long before that. Pubs have largely been replaced by restaurants that happen to sell beer, in the same premises. In an ideal world, pubs would be the same as when we were 20 years old. Of course, we ourselves have changed in the intervening years and the present circumstances of our lives, so "the same" is now something quite different.

Yes, I went to the wrestling there two or three times (and the New Market as well), and a couple of dances
It'll be over 50 years since I've been in, and haven't really kept pace with what they do there, other than seeing an odd poster. I suppose it's not in use at the present time (covid), which may be a factor? Also don't know what the alternative venues would be for the activities they run (out of touch). And the Theatre Royal has been touch and go as well, hasn't it?

I suggest there aren't enough good bands to see anymore. Modern "music" has become as dumb as the people. I simply can't have rap, dance, and all the other shit, and I can't imagine many people in Lincoln wanting to see P-Diddy or whatever the hell he might call himself these days.
Stand-up has been castrated by PC. I'd imagine a comedian is frightened to death of offending anyone with anything he says.
But similarly, I can't stand superhero type films either. I'm just a miserable middle-aged bloke!
I make you right on dumbed down for sure, probably in most of the world, maybe more so in the western leaning places. To be fair, there are idiots in charge of plenty more countries too.
