some juicy stuff in there. I think development has been increasing, there's so much still going up, & I wonder how much it'll be impacted by the current shitshow and whether it will all get finished. there have been a few aborted projects that were left barely started for years before getting demolished, you'd think shit like the big circle square development on the site of the old bbc on oxford road is too far along to meet the same fate but who knows

Thinking of making a rolling list of (good) places that are closing down, it's depressing af. So far I've heard about: Lunya, Nexus, Deaf Institute, Gorilla

Sad about Nexus.
Know it's London but just saw a tweet by Cafe To who are hiring out their venue as rehearsal space to stay afloat :-(

Apparently ~90% of music venues are looking like the might close

That's really sickening.
(That should be *Oto, above)

Coincidentally, 90% of live music I've seen in the last 5 years has been at Cafe Oto.

Mariam Rezaei + Odie Ji Ghast at the Peer House - 28th April 2022
Some pals have formed a DIY collective to get more experimental/Avant-garde music gigs to Manchester. Should be a fun first event.
