The Bohemian Is Closing Down?

Dead Alphabet Killing it at The Bo Last Year

The Bo is a music venue filled with rich history, a platform for aspiring musicians to get noticed and play their music. One of the very few left in Johannesburg. However, rumours have surfaced on some social networks that The Bohemian in Melville will be closing down due to the fact that is was apparently sold.

On The Bohemian's Facebook page one member says "It (The Bohemian) was sold. To a Muslim, "I think" they do not tolerate alcohol, there for they are closing it down". 

When asked about it, Mike Meebe- partner and manager of The Bo- said that the rumour could have started when he told his staff that they might not be able to renew the lease. However, they are seeking alternative options.

A march to "save" the Bo will be held on the 10th November, however Mike Meebe has also said "I am not sure marching is going to do anything to change the current status quo" but appreciates the amount of support they are getting and will release an official statement when the future of The Bohemian is clearer.
