London Astoria’s curtain call…

Preparatory demolition work is now underway on the London Astoria theatre.

Cast your minds back to the beginning of the year (15 January, to be precise) and you might recall that we reported on the “Demolition Ball“, a one-night-only concert before the closure and ultimate demolition of the London Astoria, long one of the UK capital’s premier music venues.

Well, with work on London’s Crossrail scheme now in full swing, we have just seen photos of the initial preparatory demolition works.

It is still our hope that we will get onto the site once works starts in earnest to bring you more news.
