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.

    • Here's the part of march46's linked-to Southwark News article pertaining to Southwark Council. "Southwark Council were also contacted for a response. "Councillor James McAsh, Cabinet Member for Clean Air, Streets & Waste said: “One of Southwark’s key priorities is to create a healthy environment for our residents. “To achieve this we closely monitor legislation and measures that influence air pollution – our entire borough apart from inland waterways is designated as a Smoke Control Area, and we also offer substantial provision for electric vehicles to promote alternative fuel travel options and our Streets for People strategy. “We as a council support the work of Mums for Lungs and recognise the health and environmental impacts of domestic solid fuel burning, particularly from wood-burning appliances. “We are currently updating our Enforcement Policy and changes will allow for the issuing of civil penalties ranging from £175 to £300 for visible smoke emissions, replacing the previous reliance on criminal prosecution.  “This work is being undertaken in collaboration with other London boroughs as part of the pan-London Wood Burning Project, which aims to harmonise enforcement approaches and share best practice across the capital.”
    • The solicitor is also the Executor. Big mistake, but my Aunt was very old, and this was the Covid years and shortly after so impossible to intervene and get a couple of close relatives to do this.  She had no children so this is the nephews and nieces. He is a single practitioner, and most at his age would have long since retired - there is a question over his competence Two letters have already gone essentially complaining - batted off and 'amusingly' one put the blame on us. There are five on our side, all speaking to each other, and ideally would work as a single point of contact.  But he has said that this is not allowed - we've all given approval to act on each others behalf. There are five on her late husband's side, who have not engaged with us despite the suggestion to work as a team, There is one other, who get's the lion's share, the typicical 'friend', but we are long since challenging the will. I would like to put another complaint together that he has not used modern collective communication (I expect that he is incapable) which had seriously delayed the execution of the will.   I know many in their 80s very adept with smart phones so that is not an ageist comment. The house has deteriorated very badly, with cold, damp and a serious leak.  PM me if you want to see the dreadful condition that it is now in. I would also question why if the five of us are happy to work together why all of us need to confirm in writing.             The house was lived in until Feb 23, and has been allowed to get like this.
    • Isn’t a five yearly electricity safety certificate one of the things the landlord must give for a legal tenancy?
    • Very sorry to hear this, but surely the landlord is responsible for fixing the electrics?  Surely they must be insured for things like this? I hope you get it all sorted out quickly.
