Ceiling collapse temporarily closes Water Rats

After a temporary closure,  London venue the Water Rats should be open for business again from the weekend after part of the venue's ceiling collapsed onto the stage whilst preparations were underway for an Israel Nash gig. The collapse occurred before sound checks began and there were no injuries at the venue in Kings Cross: The gig was moved to The Slaughtered Lamb pub in Clerkenwell. Emergency repairs are now taking place and organisers have said that that the structure of the building itself was not affected.
