The Demolition Ball
January 26, 2009Many thanks to all who came along to the final Astoria show, it was a great night. Was mad trying to book a show within 2 weeks (really makes me appreciate the role of promoters and agents- my head was a total mess by the end!), but thanks to all the bands and special thanks to Larry and Som for helping to pull it together. We’re still trying to work out all the VAT issues but ex vat we raised £8000 for 4 charities, which adds is a nice upside to the sad closing of an old friend. Below are some photos I’ve stolen from various peoples Facebook pages from the night (thanks and apologies!)

Astoria RIP
I think Frank summed it up when he said that the building, although a great venue, is just bricks and mortar and its the memories, friendships and ideals we forged in the venue that make it so special, long may they live on.
