Push Bar to close

Another of Soho's basement dive bars is to bite the dust. News just in this week that Push - home of the Piccadilly Blues Club and Bo Bo's Jumpin' Blues Joint nights - is to close down. The last night that Push will open for business is Saturday 23rd December 2006.

Push is a small dive bar on Dean Street run by charismatic manager Joe. It has hosted many cool nights over the few years it has been open. Sweet But Deadly was launched there before moving to the Pleasure Unit and I even DJ'd there once myself.

Still, it's not necessarily all bad news for fans of good music, as there is a rumour that the place will be turned into a blues bar of some description. As soon as I have any further info I will let you know.
