Never a venue I got on with tbh.. a few more in the area were doing pay to play schemes which I think is a total joke of an idea and terrible for music in general

I think I'm going to the Barbican in London in the summer. Has anyone been before? It looks different to the norm so was just curious.

Yeah I went back in 2001 for an Electronica festival and the complex is brilliant

Good to know thank you. Just booked tosee Tim Burgess and Lambchop there in June. Not really a massive fan of either but down for the weekend with a mate so just thought it's something to do relativley cheap. Should be good
