Hooligan Night @ the Marquee

Over the years there have been many Marquee clubs; I was a frequent visitor to the one in Wardour street where I saw such bands as Adam and the Ants, the Members, The Tourists (Annie Lennox), Gloria Mundi, Penetration, 999. The last incarnation in Leicester Square had 4 floors and was more like a corporate disco than a rock venue, certainly there was no sweat in the walls and beer on the floor unlike the Wardour Street club (where both were deeply embedded) . In Wardour Street the lager was disgusting and the bitter was worse. Here in St Martin's Lane (next to Stringfellows) the new incarnation is smaller than the Wardour Street venue and very 2008. The drinks are OK athough the draught bitter is off tonight. The room upstairs is quite spacious whilst the stage downstairs is quite intimate. I think they have better lights than they are using tonight. Fortunately I can just about manage to take pictures by the light of a projector with my latest Nikon D300. Hooligan Night put on a good show, and I rush off as I have a busy day tomorrow.
