Smokey Sheffield

Sat looking at the large black cloud eminating from Republic in Sheffield. Looks like serious damage and guess they will be closed for some time.

Think a long time is a bit of an understatement by the sounds of things! Last i heard, the building was collapsing due to the size of the blaze! As much as the place has gone downhill (music policy wise), the venue is still part of English club history and it would be really sad to see it dissapear.

well, we can definitely rule one place out for the Cream Ibiza 2007 opening party then

who would want to do that, if true thats some sick person!

Coulda been much worse though if it was full on a club night

Looks like it was arson

And he'll still claim he 'did not see the incident'!

(Yes, I know he doesn't spell it like that - creative license!)

I think it's safe to say The Plug, Nylon, Uniq, Void/Shusssh etc are going to be rather full tonight.

Niche may even see some detractors!

 

[Robder]

If it's an ailing brand then it's great news for them!

Lots of media attention, a big insurance claim to fund a rebuild...huge relaunch and a potential to win back an audience perhaps?

FACT!
