i am bringing with me one of my employees who is an Italian living in London - great guy who likes his live music...For me it will be interesting to see how he appreciates das hip...he did not have much choice about going to the show :lol: we will probably hit the bull and gate for a pre-pint.
I will report on the show, how my friend enjoyed...I am really psyched to see them in the UK - hopefully a bunch of new fans will see the light!
No worries. As Thompson Girl said it holds around 2,000 people, but I don't think it's sold out. The upstairs seated area is sometimes closed off though depending on tickets sales. It's bigger than The Astoria (RIP) and Shepherds Bush Empire which are the other two places in London I've seen The Hip. I like it as a venue - The sound is usually pretty good. The place is usually full of ex-pats though so you feel like you're at a show in Canada! :lol:
