Luminar under pressure as clubbers stay at home in UK

Britain’s biggest nightclub operator said today that cash-strapped clubbers were going out less as they face up to “one of the most difficult years in recent times”.

Luminar, which owns the Oceana, Lava & Ignite and Liquid chains, said it had seen a sharp drop-off in the number of revellers as the economic downturn and rising price of fuel has hit them deep in the pocket.
