  04-11-2015 22:17
  
  Earlier this week, London issued a report showing an alarming attrition in smaller music venues.  According to the city’s mayoral office, more than 35 percent of ‘grassroots’ clubs have shuttered since 2007, with potentially damaging results for local musicians and surrounding economies.
