Walter Trout and his band always does this. I remember when they played The Point in Cardiff (2007 maybe or 2008) the whole band came out and chatted with everyone for at least an hour. There was one girl who had met Walter the year before and given him a demo CD. Not only did he remember her, he said he'd put her CD in his car and told her his favourite track by name, so he had definitely listened to it. He gave the girl his wife's number because she is the manager of the band and had some contacts etc. Nice guy Walter Trout.

It was a real shame what happened to The Point in Cardiff, as that was a great venue. I guess there's no hope of it ever reopening as a music venue now?

Difficult with the noise complaints. Such a shame as Cardiff has fewer and fewer venues. In the last few years The Point, The Coal Exchange, Millenium Music Hall... all gone. The Globe and Clwb Ifor Bach always struggling with noise complaints. Tramshed has opened though (not been yet). I guess we'll always have the Students Union...

You would at least hope the Welsh Club would be OK considering it's bang in the city centre with a few venues around it as well, although the residents of the flats beside the Arms Park seem pretty active against any noise whatsoever. Didn't mind Barfly/Bogiez when I went to gigs there as well.

Might have to check out the Tramshed if there's anything interesting on when I'm there again - looks like it might be a decent venue.

Can't they sound proof the venue better?

I went to the Louisiana in Bristol and thought I was at the wrong venue as the downstairs you could hardly hear a thing yet once upstairs in the gig room it was loud as fk and sound quality was top notch too.

Saw him many times with Gillan. That was a killer band.

Faithless tomorrow night..

Saw aditors at the Hammersmith Apollo last night. Loads of sound issues, they were off stage, then back then off again. Gave up and left before the end. Pity as they're a good live band and it must have been difficult for them.

Really surprised by this as agree they are a great live band (seen them 4 times now) and arguably Hammy O is a great venue, just what they don't need as they are trying to claw back some popularity.

I'm seeing them in Portsmouth tomorrow at a much smaller venue (circa 700), hope they don't suffer the same problems as really looking forward to it.

Saw Editors in Leeds last night, they were superb.

They were brilliant in Portsmouth as well, probably the best I've ever seen them.

Just got back from the Manchester gig, they were brilliant. Definitely best gig I have been to this year.

As mentioned in the heavy music thread, it would appear that after some competition winnage, I'm on the guest list for Ihsahn's show on the 14th November at the Underworld!

[mantis84]

Went to see a fairly new(ish) band last weekend called Palace - I think they're on their first or second EP. Really good IMO, anyone who likes a bit of mellow bluesy indie stuff (not everyone's cup of tea to be fair) should check them out - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAqgpEfBEVx2CBCaO...
