Brixton gigs will go ahead

After Thursday's terrorist attack, a few of us were a little worried about the future of the Brixton gigs. But my good friend Christo emails to say that he spoke to the band up in Glasgow, and they are determined that the gigs will go on as planned (to quote Jerome: "I'm not going to let anything stop us from turning up at Brixton"). So just in case anyone out there was still worrying, you can now put your mind at rest.

As a sidenote, for everyone that is travelling to London next week, please keep an eye on transport news. Parts of the London Underground will be closed off due to investigations and repairs and everything is likely to still be a bit off kilter by the time Wednesday comes around.
