Review of An Evening with John Bramwell (I Am Kloot)

Good night with great music and a nice friendly intimate venue

Review of An Evening with John Bramwell (I Am Kloot)

Small intimate venue. The sound quality was good. Venue just up the road from St Pauls Metro stop. Friendly staff at the venue. John had some problems with his guitars but the music was top notch. Some favourites from I Am Kloot interspersed with tunes from John's solo album. A couple of new songs from Johns forthcoming album were aired also. These bode well for that album and tour. Look forward to seeing John again in the immediate future. Interesting support and enjoyable soundscapes from Tony Adamo.

Review of An Evening with John Bramwell (I Am Kloot)

Hugely enjoyable evening out in a very friendly atmosphere. John having a few complications with tuning if anything added to the good-natured exchanges, one couple happily declared their engagement, much laughter was shared - and at the heart of it, of course, were John and his wonderful songs. An unpredictably fine time.

Review of An Evening with Mark Morriss (The Bluetones)

A great gig and excellent venue. Staff, prices and facilities were all exemplary. As a wheelchair user I was very impressed

Review of An Evening with Mark Morriss (The Bluetones)

This was my umpteenth time watching Mark Morriss and he never fails to deliver. Solo and Bluetones material is interspersed with dry wit and crowd interaction. A fantastic evening!

Review of An Afternoon with Ian Boddy

Very organised and well put together weekend. I was one of the lucky ones to attend all shows over the weekend, minus the Wolfgang Flur afternoon show, as I was coming to the evening performance. The venue was intimate, the atmosphere was electric, the audience were all behaved and friendly. The promoter worked hard to accomplish a disciplined event, whereby all artists were able to start on time and the sound level was more than ample for the size of the venue. The Q&A's by all artists was also inciteful and fun. If you were not able to attend, I would strongly recommend attending an event like this in the future. I would have felt like I had missed something special if I hadn't been there.

Review of An Afternoon with Wolfgang Flur (Ex-Kraftwerk)

The performance was great and was a wonderful experience. However, unfortunately I have had to leave a low score for "Venue", despite the fact that it was actually a very nice venue, with friendly stuff and a comfortable atmosphere. This is because I do not feel like the room provided was very suitable for the sort of event. The room itself, I believe, was actually a very good size, but the fact that there was no room to stand or dance during the performance slightly hindered the experience. It was obvious that there were others, like myself, who were itching to jump up and dance. During the Q&A session, this was in fact brought up by Wolfgang himself, when he inquired as to why nobody was dancing! However, despite this, it was still an amazing experience, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone.

Review of An Afternoon with Wolfgang Flur (Ex-Kraftwerk)

What a wonderful afternoon. It's not often you get that close to a legend.

Review of An Afternoon with Wolfgang Flur (Ex-Kraftwerk)

A brilliant experience with a musical legend. Thank You.....Karl Bartos would be good!

Review of An Afternoon with Wolfgang Flur (Ex-Kraftwerk)

Had a great time at ‘An Afternoon with Wolfgang Flur’’, great music and brilliant old footage of Kraftwerk. Would have liked the Q & A to have been longer as these seemed rather short. Still a must for any Kraftwerk and/or Electronic music fan!
