London club night Nag Nag Nag’s infamous underground basement venue the Ghetto is to close next year, after UK authorities approved £250 million funding for the Crossrail underground railway link that will cut through Central London. Press reports predicted neighbouring venue the Astoria will be demolished next year to make way for an airshaft needed for a new station being built at Tottenham Court Road, with the Ghetto being knocked down as part of the overall construction project.

“Yes it’s true, they’re pulling down one of London’s best live venues,” Nag Nag Nag’s Fil OK told Skrufff. “It’s a huge shame, the Astoria is such a historic building – everyone’s played there, but it’s being pulled down because of Crossrail,” he confirmed. “And yes the Ghetto will be going too, but hopefully not until at least summer next year, so there’s plenty of Nag’s left yet,” he promised. Fellow Nag promoter Jonny Slut also looked on the bright side. “Hmmmm, being surrounded by a bunch of fit young hard hatted men with their power tools in action? Nice,” he laughed.
