| THE Sydney rock venue the Hopetoun Hotel has been boarded up and quietly put on the market in a move that has sparked howls of protest from music fans and artists.
The Surry Hills venue closed without warning on Monday night, leaving staff, ticket-holders and artists in the lurch.
One of the venue's owners, Evangelos Patakas, yesterday blamed an accumulation of fines from police and onerous directives from the council to upgrade the notoriously grungy building for the closure, but said it would reopen next year.
