Oh dear Lord sorry Titch - did I send you to Fleet Foxes? I didn't recognise your name and I'd completely forgotten - sorry.


I was just meaning that I love the Roundhouse and I always feel very safe there - unlike Brixton which I honestly think is an accident waiting to happen.

...and the roundhouse holds over 3000 (comparable to standing at brixton)


but yeah, i see your point.


The only time i can ever remember thinking the sound at brixton was awful, was for the beastie boys last year, and that was only the sound sourced from the dj's decks, the live instruments sounded good.


A good measure for me was seeing arcade fire at brixton and the sound being excellent. But after seeing them at ally pally it was never much of a contest!

I was going to say Hammersmith. I've heard the very very worst sound at that venue (Ocean colour scene), but have also heard some good sounds. At Brixton, I've heard some absolutely awful sounds (Pogues the first time I saw them, although they sounded great the following year, Placebo, although that is probably because they're shit).


Thought the Pixies sound was pretty good though to be fair. My main gripe with Brixton is simply that they seem to be selling more standing tickets than ever, and it doesn't actually feel entirely safe, let alone comfortable. Only a few years ago, you could go to a sold out gig, and move quite easily through the crowd.


Big respect to the fact they allow you out to smoke though! That is an amazing plus point, as I've been gagging for a smoke at the last few gigs I've been to!

I've generally found the sound at Brixton to be pretty poor. Some gigs have been good - Primal Scream, Spiritualized and Hole spring to mind. But the worse beyond any doubt was The Smashing Pumpkins back in '93. Bloody awful.

Only been to the revamped Roundhouse a couple of times since it's been done up and the sound quality is so much better. Going to see Echo & The Bunnymen there on Thursday.

Well done Keef - so glad.


Guys this is a gift horse - no booking fees and no postage. This is the Pixies selling direct to fans as cheaply as possible and if Ticketbastard get their hands on these gigs you'll pay a lot more than ?30 a head. Friday standing has now sold out and the rest will quickly follow. Not many people know about the gigs yet. Yes there may be extra dates but don't hang about. Even if there are extras they'll sell quickly. Don't wait.

    • Thanks all, our hope was (despite the diminishing estate) he would get on with it.  Progress is glacial, it's been two years since probate was granted, that's two cold and damp winters with no heating, and not surprisingly a pipe burst. He's blames the issues on the estate agent, who separately had a dispute with him, he had a wobbly when one of the beneficiaries spoke to the estate agent.  Separately he said it was the family's fault for letting the property get into a poor condition.  It was dated, but certainly not in poor condition. There are two five star reviews on Google, and five one star: ** WARNING** This solicitor firm has to be one of the worst I have encountered. The solicitor is prehistoric in his practices and will carry out work at his own snails pace, the fax machine he uses gets turned off at 2 pm and its near impossible to get him on the phone. STAY AWAY, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED, check the solicitors ombudsman, this firm has previous bad practice recorded.   Disgusting under no circumstances use this solicitor.For over 10 years he has not carried out the terms of a Will he has not re-invested money but has retained it.  He writes letters which are pure "Flannel" excuses for doing nothing.  You have been warned   shocking experience, delayed the whole process, told other side solicitors to not contact him as he feels pressured etc. never use.   Not fit for 21st century. No website, no email address, no electronic transfer. Very slow, very little communication.   Was not a pleasant experience dealing with this firm    
    • If you mean the one outside the church going towards Peckham, it still had the closed sign on it this morning, but as there are no road works there, I'm sure some of the drivers will stop there on request.  The stop outside the chippy coming from Peckham is closed as there are road works in front of it.  The 4 way traffic lights are in operation.., causing a lot of congestion.
    • We found a recommendation for Geek Electrics on a here after we wanted to have a electrical inspection of a property we are buying. From the very beginning through to the end Bob was responsive, helpful and demonstrated his knowledge. He has been an absolute pleasure to deal with. We will defiantly be using Bob again and would thoroughly recommend him! His details are... www.geekelectrics.co.uk 07453 407 226 [email protected]
    • I want to try that and also the granary loaf. Used to get a good granary loaf from the bakery that was in Herne Hill a long time ago.  Think they are somewhere In the vicinity of Coulsdon now. They used to make the hamburger buns for the Meatwagon/Meatliquor people.
