London, UK. 17th Sept, 2016. Marchers arrive to support Passing Clouds, a independent London music venue in Haggerston, where African drummers and others are waiting to join them in a protest against its closure. The crowd of around a thousand people soon completely filled the road outside as other musicians joined in and a white-clad woman poured measures of white rum onto a wood fire which erupted in flames. Passing Clouds was secretly sold to Landhold Developments and was closed down as it celebrated ten years of existence during which it hosted over 10,000 cultural and musical events.
London, UK. 17th September 2016.

Passing Clouds was secretly sold to Landhold Developments and was closed down as it celebrated ten years of existence during which it hosted over 10,000 cultural and musical events. Campaigners immediately occupied the building for several weeks, but were unlawfully evicted last month. Many music venues across London held a short silence today in a show of solidarity with the protest, which was scheduled to continue here and in Dalston until late into the night.
