Club Ice in Ayia Napa has cancelled all So Solid Crew gigs for the rest of the season blaming a number of stabbings in the local garage scene which populates So Solid's live audience.
The decision comes just days before So Solid's Lisa Maffia is booked to play London's Astoria (alongside Mark Owen at GAY this Saturday). Of course it was at the Astoria where that infamous shooting outside Romeo's birthday party two years ago led to a whole string of So Solid dates being cancelled overnight.
Commenting on her upcoming Astoria gig Maffia said: "We are not responsible for what happens at the club because it's a completely different crowd. It's not because I'm on stage that there's trouble. I can't actually prevent people from coming to anywhere I'm at or anywhere any other artist is at, performing on stage, because what I'm there to do is perform, not to worry about the crowd making trouble. That's up to the club and security. The people that are following us are maybe violent people, but we can't stop that from happening."
