The Barfly in London is difficult to shoot because of the low stage - unless it changed - I was there in Mar '04 for Sam Roberts. I filmed from the soundboard and I could only really get the heads in the shot.

You would be wise to get there early and shoot from either corner by the speakers at the front of the stage.

You probably would be OK with a non-self standing monopod. Just use your body to support it.

Cheers Mark. If I do decide (and video the show) I was planning to get down the front. I'll definitely do audio either way.
