Kicking off this morning with a defence of the iconic gig space’s “economic and cultural importance” and “not being one of those venues that’s on the police’s radar”, the two-day hearing at Lambeth Council will determine whether or not the Academy Music Group can continue to operate their licence at the building. The venue was forced to shut its doors following a fatal crowd crush that occurred at an Asake concert back in December.The event — which left two dead and one in critical condition — ultimately led to the Academy having its licence suspended.
The Metropolitan Police have since claimed to have “lost confidence” in the safety of the venue and made a push for the location to close its doors for good.In the later afternoon session of today’s hearing, Philip Kolvin QC was defending AMG when it was revealed that there were plans in place to have meetings “at least monthly” with police, as well as going into detail about their processes of risk assessment which “make no reference to genres”.“My client is probably the leading host of music of Black origin in this country,” said Mr Kovin QC. “That’s a position that it values and would like to continue to be.Of the 13 different risks assessed by the Academy, he said that “none of them are racial”.“They’re all specific events: overcrowding, crushing, collapse of balcony, burn injuries etc,” he said.
“The risks are disaggregated and they have nothing to do with racial typing.He continued: “What we are not saying is, ‘This is a hip-hop artist: beware’. We’re moving away from a genre-based risk assessment.

Despite fears for the future of film in the new, seemingly disposable digital era, there are still many auteurs holding on out there in the modern movie landscape. For example, there’s Quentin Tarantino, Christopher Nolan and even Michael Bay (for, as director Tarsem said of the latter’s work, “You may not like it, but you know who made it”). But few directors are as instantly recognizable as Wes Anderson. Nothing happens by accident in a Wes Anderson movie: the camera moves are perfectly choreographed — sideways tracking shots are a specialty — and the sets don’t even begin to aim for realism. Clothes are tailored, hair and makeup is scrutinized all the way down to lipstick and nail polish, and music is key, creating a subtle, sometimes melancholy and always wholly effective emotional backdrop.
