An interesting venue, quite a big space at the back of a bar in Greek Street. It is free to get in before 8, and the drink is cheap up till 8. So by arriving at 7.55 I make a double saving.They don't have anything but sterile beers on offer, but the Argentinian Merlot is quite acceptable. There is a fair wait before the first band, Magna Saga who I have run into several times lately. The lights are turned out as the band appear, but I've seen them before so I know what they look like. I take a picture of myself in a mirror because I am better lit than the band. There seems to be someone videoing on behalf of the promoter who complains about the lack of light. A halogen light is produced and used to produce goulish effects by lighting Joana and the Wolf from below. At some point there is a burning smell as the light is too close to the stage. I give up and get my flash out.
There are four bands on but I miss the last act as I am rather tired after a couple of large glasses of merlot. Overall a good show, although the lights are a severe disappointment. The promoter, BAG, seems to have some more attractive bills for her future dates.
