"News from London's nightlife scene can often be pretty bleak. Recently, the legendary Corsica Studios announced that it will be shutting, and Soho's G-A-Y said goodbye for good. But in some tidings worth celebrating for the city's night owls, multi-arts space Evolutionary Arts Hackney (aka EartH) has just been given the green light to stay open until 5am on Fridays and Saturdays."
"EartH opened in 2018 in the former art-deco building of the Savoy Cinema, launched by the same people behind Village Underground. It hosts comedy and music gigs and currently keeps the party going until 3.30am on weekends, but now, Hackney Council has accepted its bid to stay open even longer. The venue says that the extra opening hours will allow it to put on a fuller programme and help ensure its long-term survival as a grassroots venue."
"'The profit margins for running music venues are so thin, there's only the resilience there to withstand very minor shocks. Making this shift enables us to fit in a new early live music shows before. It creates a lot more programming opportunities.'"

EartH hosts comedy and music gigs and currently operates until 3.30am on weekends. The additional hours will enable a fuller programme and support long-term survival as a grassroots venue. Profit margins for running music venues are thin, leaving little resilience to shocks. The venue has hosted artists from Mali, Nigeria, Taiwan, Turkey, India and Argentina. Some residents raised concerns about loitering, noise, crowd safety and street drug use, while others supported the extension.
