There is no excuse for letting something die. It sounds like a group of people seeing a body in the street and letting it bleed to death because no one is bright enough to pick up a phone and call for help.

So we've gone from "that would never happen", through "that would never happen here", to "that should never happen". I guess that's progress.

But no, I don't think it does sound like ten people collectively deciding not to do anything to save the music they love. It sounds more like ten different people individually deciding not to go to a particular club any more, and none of those people happening to have the energy, dedication and spare time to start a new club.
