Brixton Academy is an iconic London music venue and should this cease to be so, another part of the musical landscape and history is lost forever.

What happened there was a tragedy, but caused by people.  People without tickets, security taking back handers etc.  Revoke the security firm's license and bring in someone adequate recommended by the police (security having been alleged to take back-handers to allow people into gigs, surely lies at the heart of those without tickets attending).  Bring in new security procedures including crowd control to ensure a repeat doesn't happen, but let's not turn this venue into soulless flats as would more than likely happen in the event of permanent closure.

I personally have been to hundreds of gigs in my lifetime, many of them here and I have never once felt like safety was an issue!

The loss of this venue would also have a devastating affect on the local economy!

So please, let's help keep music live and Save Brixton Academy!
