Music venue sells unique celebrity-used urinal
The Green Door Store, a music venue situated in Trafalgar Arches, Brighton, has recently put up for sale a rather unique item – their 15-year-old urinal. This particular urinal, the venue claims, has been graced by the presence of various celebrities. Included in the list of notable users are Matty Healy, the lead vocalist of The 1975, and Sam Fender, renowned for hits like Seventeen Going Under.
Describing the urinal as an “iconic piece of rock ‘n’ roll history,” the Green Door Store has opened up an eBay listing to auction off this extraordinary artifact. The venue, known for its unconventional charm, expressed a bittersweet sentiment about parting ways with this well-used fixture, fondly referring to it as “the old guy.”
The eBay listing for this peculiar item is quite a sight to behold. It opens with an enthusiastic proclamation inviting potential buyers to acquire “a truly spectacular and unique item with historical significance.” The urinal has garnered a reputation that stems from the numerous tags and drawings adorning its surfaces, reminiscent of the punk era of late 70s CBGBs. The distinct aroma that lingers within, reminiscent of a late-night gathering, has further solidified its status as an iconic piece within the venue.
Proudly boasting a list of esteemed users who have graced its basin over the years, the Green Door Store has cheekily mentioned the likes of Matty Healy, Mac Demarco, Sam Fender, and even humorously speculated on the possibility of Gavin from Gavin and Stacey utilizing the facilities. Despite the sentimental attachment to this venerable urinal, the venue has decided that it is time to bid farewell and hopes to find it a new home where it will continue to hold its place in the annals of rock ‘n’ roll history.
As of the latest update, the eBay listing has sparked interest, with 36 bids received, and the current bidding price standing at £184.32. The auction is set to conclude on Thursday, February 12th, providing interested parties with a limited window to own a piece of music history that is truly one of a kind.
