O2 Academy Brixton crush: Claims of not enough medical cover
Only half the recommended number of medical staff were on duty at the O2 Brixton Academy on the night of a crush at the south-west London venue. Two whistleblowers who regularly work for Collingwood Services Ltd at Brixton told BBC Radio 4's File on 4 programme that medical cover at the south London gig had been "Inadequate". These latest claims about a lack of medical cover come just weeks after File on 4 reported that there might not have been enough security guards working on the night of the crush - and that some guards took bribes to let people into the gig without tickets. Both our whistleblowers said previous concerts at the Brixton Academy - before the Asake gig - also had not had enough Collingwood medical staff on duty. Collingwood also provides medical cover at another London venue run by AMG - the O2 Academy Islington.
