Alison. Pubs in the UK are closing down at the rate of 50 odd a week. The recession and cheap booze available in Supermarkets are mainly the problem. Consequently, the clubs are closing as well. Back in the 70's in London, you could go to three or four clubs every night of the week.... I can only think of about 6 left ...and the audiences are getting older too. (there are few honourable exceptions, but.....!)
A new generation is taking over, (as it should be). I'm ordering my coffin today!
