Venuewatch: Korova on fire

The Korova building on Hope Street, Liverpool was on fire earlier this morning, reports hopestreet.co.uk.

The fire was bad enough to need neighbouring buildings evacuated, but has apparently been brought into control.

The Korova is a multi-purpose arts place, and has featured gigs from The XX, Enter Shikari, Florence And The Machine and, ooh, oodles of others. Let's hope they're not too badly damaged inside.
