Steve & Irene are up there with Dave & Dee, no doubt...Really nice, genuine people with great enthusiasm for the music and the people...is it a 'great' venue...er...no, it's a small ''shift the tables and hope there's no live sport on cos there's a massive telly smack bang in the middle of the band area'' back street pub, and has a lot of competition for punters in the immediate area. We played there 3 times and enjoyed it although last time we played there we had to wait for Andy Murray to play a Wimbledon Semi-final and then wait for all the 'afternoon drinkers with no interest in staying to watch the band'' to fuck off...ended up playing to about 5 people, all of whom now travel to watch us in the surrounding area so it was worth it... This was our first venue in that area and we've since built up a good following on the back of those first 'R&A' gigs and I'd be happy to take LGIT back there.....but to call it a 'great' venue is, in my opinion, a bit OTT...
Anyway, have a good gig and please remember LGIT to Steve & Irene...
