Changes at Sumo
TIMES ARE CHANGING AT SUMO: After two and a half years of promoting at Sumo, Grant is moving on to a new career in primary school teaching. He will still be promoting part time in various venues with Club Beaux Yeux.
The new full time promoter of sumo will be Andy Wright. Andy previously ran the legendary Charlotte venue in Leicester. He will now turn his hand to the basement venue of Sumo. If you are interested in playing / putting on nights please contact andy@sumobar.co.uk, or myspace andy on Sumo's myspace. Keep your eyes pealed for new exciting happenings and listing from Sumo!
