This was planned sort of at the last minute. Definitely after the others as I thought it would be too difficult to get back from Bristol to London. Then I saw curfew was at 9.45pm, quick check of the train times and a map and I could easily get the last train home. The fare wasn’t too much either so off I went.<\/p>\n

The venue, like Brighton, took me a while to find (too many hills and streets running under streets) but got there eventually. I missed the support again (50% planning and 50% getting a train late enough that it was cheap). So rolled up grabbed a space in front of the sound desk and waited for the guys to get started. It being a Friday night gig so the band and crowd were well up for it, the setlist was different again from the previous 2 shows (but I expected that). It was a pretty good natured crowd a packed venue, bigger than the show in Brighton but a LOT smaller than the London.<\/p>\n
