fucks sake. Just looked this up and it was a private reggae night. it must be as hard for the feds and council and promotoers as obviously not done today to suspect one group and not check others especially if it seems like racial profiling – but I do get the impression that for some scenes where folk from bad areas really have high ambitions for making a career out of music there seems to be a lot of jealousy and envy to the point folk end up being shot dead over music which is fucked up IMO. (and no, its not just black people either as I’ve seen this go on amongst folk of all races on the music scene).
At least the councils are letting the events continue although the irony is because its a run down area they have no choice or they’d lose the taxes and business the punters bring (unlike where I live where the night time economy isn’t as important)
Yep it was the first reggae night the owners had done in there after the local community asked them to… needless to say it is the last as well… the police forced them to close while the shooting was being investigated and it was to be shut for a whole month threatening the jobs of the staff and the owners livelihood… however a petition was put forward and they can reopen but there are licensing conditions one of which being everyone that comes in must have ID and its checked off against this MET shit list.. if your names down you ain’t getting in…
