Black Cat is the worker cooperative, who operate the grassroots music venue Krakatoa, not for profit.

We are converting the 3 floors above Krakatoa to incorporate 8 double rooms and a sustainable vegetarian cafe, all of which will operate not-for-profit. This is aimed at providing low-cost B&B accommodation for touring musicians, booked to perform at Krakatoa and other local music venues.

This is projected to deliver a 90% reduction in energy costs over a conventional build, resulting in a significantly larger surplus that will be reinvested into enhancing the local grassroots music scene.
