Following the events of the weekend, Colston Hall have restated their plan to change their name from Colston Hall in the autumn.
However they’ve yet to give any details about what it may be, and one resident has created a petition to force their hand.
Levi James has created a petition to have Bristol legend – Jeffery Johns aka. Big Jeff become the new name as Big Jeff Hall.
The petition states:
‘Edward Colston does not deserve to be associated with Bristols Music and Arts scene. Thankfully the venue acknowledges that and has decided to change the name.
“We want to look to the future and ensure the whole city is proud of its transformed Hall. The name Colston, and its associations with the slave trade, does not reflect our values as a progressive, forward-thinking and open arts organisation. We want everyone to feel like they can come to the Hall and enjoy amazing music.”
I believe we should honour local legend ‘Big Jeff’ and name the venue after him, he’s the heart of the local music scene and a true Bristol icon.’
If you want to support this noble cause you can sign the petition here.
