The Stitch Club (formerly Liquid, Wall Street and Vibes) in Tal-Balal has introduced open-air events called Wednesday@Stitch, which, as the name implies, are held smack bang in the middle of the week. The latest event,a free party by DJ Steve Aoki, took place on August 25 and went on until the early hours of Thursday.

A lot of readers write in to complain about loud music from similar venues on weekends but this is a new foray into disturbing the peace and quiet of the night on weekdays. I respect the right of clubbers to have fun whenever they like but not at the expense of others who are entitled to a good night’s sleep before going to work.

I think it is high time that the authorities start heeding similar pleas and do something about loud music being played in open-air venues during the night. When will they realise that the sound emitted by the powerful equipment used today can travel for kilometres in the hush of the night to the detriment of those who want to sleep?
