Through our charity, the Vortex Foundation, we have set up a Mossman Fund, in memory of Vortex founder, David Mossman. The aim of the fund is to raise funds in order to put the Vortex into a situation that stabilises the situation of the club but also allows it to move forwards, and in keeping with the spirit of positive community that David started.
With limited income at present from gigs, we are modifying our fund not just to upgrade our club, give us some longer-term stability and support musicians who play at the club.
So we have intentions to improve p.a., lights, furniture etc from our crowdfunder and Culture Recovery Fund money from the government. But we are looking how to raise money to keep the doors of the club ready to open and support the scene as we can. Our newest investment is in equipment to allow us to stream some gigs live from the club as well as put some of our extensive archive online.
