"The Bivouac has a new home, and joins forces with Yo Yo and SCY (formerly The Cell) with regular Saturday night shows.

The Bivouac is alive and well. We have agreed to relocate and start again with a fresh program of gigs at our new home, downstairs at SCY
(formerly The Cell) in the centre of Lincoln.

We will be hosting our shows regularly on a new day, Saturdays 7pm till 10pm. All shows remain 16+ (with ID).

All our previous booked shows, that were to happen at The Millers Arms, will be rescheduled asap to fit the new regular Saturday slots
at SCY.

To add to the mix, the ever popular Yo Yo has also moved from Scream to Scy (formerly The Cell), and The Bivouac will pass on the baton
every Saturday night to them at 10.30pm till the early hours of Sunday morning.
