Iconic Welsh rock venue up for sale

The famed Welsh live music venue, TJ’s – where Kurt Cobain is said to have proposed to Courtney Love – has been put up for sale, after a deal with prospective buyers fell through.

The Newport rock club, which has become a leading light on the rock scene in Wales since it was first founded in 1971 – was close to being bought in October by a pair of local businessmen. Ozzeer Hassan and his father, Mehmood, won the auction to buy the Clarence Place club with a bid of £242,000.

Does a Virtual Workforce Make Sense for Your Small Business?

Back in the day, being a small business owner was a bit simpler. You needed help getting things done so you went out and hired people, usually locally, to work for you. The idea of hiring a staff member on the other side of the country — or even the other side of the world — was pretty much unheard of.

But, as they say, “That was then; this is now.”
