Concert Venues
OK, I ment to do this post on Tuesday but never got round to it. On Monday I performed at the Royal Albert Hall. It's a wonderful venue, with large dressing rooms (however the arena is a little bt cold, surprisingly). So, anyway, I've been thinking about the various venues I've played at and here's a guide to some of the things about venues.
1. Never play at schools. Ever. Unless they are very, very old schools with very old, very big halls.
2. St. John's, Smith's Square is an excellent place to play and has a very good restaurant. However, the dressing room is a small section of the crypt and it's just not possible to fit an orchestra inside.
3. The Fairfield Hall and The Ashcroft Theatre are good. But the dressing rooms behind the stage aren't that great, however if they are on the top two floors they can be quite fun.
4. Using the telephones in your dressing room to call your mates in other dressing rooms on the internal line is ok, just don't get the phone cut off like we did at the Fairfield Hall.
5. The Royal Albert Hall is very, very good.

You forgot to mention that St John Smith's Square is also really cold because of the stupid concrete/some other kind of stone floors etc!
But there is an exciting television screen to watch!
I didn't think it was that cold. And yes. It's very funny when the conductor is wearing a white dinnerjacket and has a white afro
(That's Mr. Ashcroft for all OAs)
