Full article:

Jeff Dexter (deejay) : We had had a private party that night and somebody brought along their children. The police raided, found the children, and told the Covent Garden porters we were crucifying children in there. So they smashed the place to pieces. That was the death of Middle Earth, really. Jenny Fabian (cashier) and I were locked in the box office while they wrecked the place. I had my back on the door, feet against the wall, keeping that door closed while they smashed everything around us.
