Eleven years ago, we embraced the chance of a lifetime — the opportunity to repurpose The Left Bank Village into a true community hub for Hereford. A place where everyone belongs, feels comfortable and feels at home.
Having recently celebrated my 70th birthday, I feel that now is the right moment to step back and pass the baton on.
I am immensely proud and deeply grateful to have been given the opportunity to redevelop The Left Bank after its years of closure. To see it flourish once again has been a true privilege, and it is my sincere hope that The Left Bank Village and de Koffie Pot will continue to thrive for many years to come under future stewardship.
“The friendships, laughter, music, and moments will stay with me forever.”
Gary Waring
Over these past 11 unforgettable years, I’ve had the pleasure of working with and welcoming so many remarkable people — our staff, performers, customers, partners, and visitors alike. I am profoundly thankful for the friendships, challenges, laughter, music, and moments that have made this journey so special.
“If The Left Bank has ever been your place, this is the night to be here.”

One Last Celebration
Our final event under my stewardship will be our legendary New Year’s Eve Celebration on 31st December 2025. I would love nothing more than to see The Left Bank full once again for one last incredible night together.

Thank you, Hereford, from the bottom of my heart — for 11 incredible years.
