Stirrings to save the Astoria

KEY live music venues in London which face being shut could be replaced under new plans laid out by the government.
The Astoria, which faces demolition to make way for a new cross-London rail link, is one of the high-profile venues under threat in the capital.
Music fans have been campaigning to save the theatre, which has played host to bands such as ­Nirvana and U2.
The Department for Culture, Media and Sport said it would work with the Mayor of London “to see what can be done to ensure key music venues are not closed down in London and, if they are, to explore how suitable replacements can be provided”.
