Ghostcat are on at 7pm! So I struggle through the rush hour crowds. Initially we are told that the doors don’t open until 7 and we must wait in the cold. After a while of refusing to go outside to queue they let us in. Usual loads of backlighting and quite a lot of smoke makes photographing a distinct challenge. Apparently they have stopped doing proper beer; the Spitfire pump clip is permenantly turned to the wall. When I first came to the water rats I thought it was a good venue, but these days it seems to be turning into a venue that bands only play once. Ghostcat are good and it’s early enough that I could go Christmas shopping afterwards….
