The Hall or the pub? ;) I have fond memories of the LPH - sitting on the front row of the orchestra seats for an ISB concert in about 1970-71 - just feet away from Robin Willamson - and seeing a Grimms show there (the Scaffold, Neil Innes, Andy Roberts & co). And a number of tedious school speech days. Hope you enjoy it Shanks!

Strangely enough, it's neither - It's in the Rodewald Suite, which is accessed at the back of the Philharmonic Hall and is a smallish room upstairs. I never knew it existed until last year when I saw Chris Wood there and later, Martin Simpson. I have endured boring school speech days in the main hall however!

My wife, who isn't really a 'folkie' came too and really enjoyed it. A great show.

Thankly Mr Shankly :) Seriously, thanks for bringing this up, I've not been to a gig for months and a hardcore, no messin Carthy/Swarb gig is just what the doctor ordered. |
