Traffic bought out?

Tusky

Ive been hearing stories that Traffic has been bought out by none other than Spirit. Really sad to see one of the best clubs in Dublin being bought out by one of the most god awful worst.

Is this true ?

All the current clubs in Traffic (Electric City on Thursdays, Hospital on Fridays, D1 on Saturdays and Gravy on Sundays) are being asked to finish up their nights in Traffic by the end of September.

I don't think Spirit are buying Traffic but I've heard that they're going to be organising all the music for Traffic in future.

Sucks indeed, but don't worry keep your ear to the ground becuase all those club nights will find they're new homes, and we'll move with them. Shame though i was quite settled with Electric City in Traffic after having my feathers ruffled being booted out of the Metropolitan to make room for an Irish Pub FFS.
These promoters should get together and buy a warehouse out in Lucan where we can all party under one roof.

Having said that i can see why Traffic are giving everyone the boot, electronic music lovers don't make great drinkers, which is where they make most of their money. (Have you ever qued for pint in that place, even when its a suana ?) Ive never been to Spirit, but ive seen a fair few drunken louts outside to know their spending more money booze than i am. So it all boils down to money, Money the root of all evil, everyones compulsorary drug addiction, The less you have the more you want, and the more you have it, the more you want.

if spirit just buys traffic to make itself bigger, it'll just be a bigger place NOT to go to to be honest...

is there any rumours about where the new EC might be??
