Another place to see good bands is going. A shame. A real shame.

That is really disappointing news, such short notice too. Very sad for the staff there having to start the new year jobless; there's some very nice people work there.

Bad news indeed. Nice quirky venue that's handy for tubes. Guess it'll end up being a bistro or non live music night club.

Emailed my local MP, Emily Thornberry, whose constituency also includes the Buffalo Bar. Got a phone call from her office today saying she wanted to support the petition and is keen to talk to people about it and is contacting the local press.

Despite no doubt having had a pretty rottern day, what with the press camped outside her home and all the media interest in her following her Twiiter gaff, glad to say Emily Thornberry turned up and gave us over an hour of her time. She was keen to get a handle on something that is clearly outside of her sphere of personal knowledge and had somebody copiously jotting down everything that was said by everyone there.

I'm clearly using Facebook too much as I wanted to click Like for the last two posts.

And today of course, yet another joined the list of soon to be gone venues: Madame JoJo's

There's a dedicated Buffalo Bar Scrapbook Facebook page where you can post pictures, memories, support etc and of course tick like buttons 'til the cows come home.

Good job they hid all the England flags before she rocked up.

Who's the herbert with the bucket? And why's he got a bucket?

Apologies if I'm missing the obvious.

He's one of the bar staff. He was setting up the bar and filling the ice buckets when he got called over to join the photo. There's no subtext to the bucket.
