London's Astoria venue 'can't be saved'

Capital's Mayor Ken Livingston confirms club will close

ok, the fact that the Astoria can't be saved I can live with. But the thing that annoys me is that Ken Livingstone thinks that a 'larger live music venue' can replace the Astoria. The whole point of the Astoria is that it is a smaller venue for a more intimate experience, but he seems to think that size matters. Then again, I suppose the more tickets they sell, then the more money they can squeeze out of every possible service to the public
