The Fridge is upgrading four new dressing rooms, new toilets, showers and production offices, plus it has plans to refurbish the lobby and fascia.
The Fridge is installing a world class PA system consisting of a d&b audiotechnik J-series PA system, Digidesign Venue Profile HD64 front of house console and a Midas XL3 Monitor desk.
The Fridge began when legendary punk Roxy Club founders Andrew Czezowski and Susan Carrington opened their new club shortly after the riots in Brixton in 1981. It was originally located at 390 Brixton Road with a radical decor that included beat-up fridges, a Pyramid of broken TV’S showing John Maybury videos and (fake) dead cats hanging from its ceiling, before relocating to its present position on Brixton Hill in 1985.
