MICKEY BLISS TWELVE PAGE INTERVIEW WITH BEYOND THE DAWN RADIO https://www.btdradio.com/2021/05/09/artist-interview-with-mickey-bliss/
The statement capped several days of uncertainty as rumors of the Cantab’s potential sale spread, sparking fears that the popular neighborhood watering hole would never reopen. Mickey Bliss, who books bands in the Cantab’s basement under his production company Club Bohemia, said the bar’s manager told him to remove his sound system from the club. “[He] called me Saturday and told me, when I got a chance, to come in and get all my equipment out of there because they were selling [the bar],” Bliss said. “I guess he really didn't say it wasn't going to reopen back up. I just assumed that because he told me to take my stuff out.”
Since the statement from Fitzgerald, however, Bliss said he would be allowed to leave his equipment at the Cantab if he chose. He thought it was possible the bar would reopen. “I'm thinking that maybe it won’t [sell], and maybe it will reopen and I'll be able to do shows,” he said. “But I really don’t know.”
