Oh I agree....you only have to compare it to the relaxed atmosphere in Frankfurt
Can't imagine relaxing in the bar with a chilled glass of Pinot Grigio at the Arse-toria or SBE.
Also I'm getting old and really enjoyed sitting down during the show at the Alte Oper. So I'd prefer the next venue in the UK to have seating. Not too fussed where it is. London is OK, Birmingham is pretty good (be it the Symphony Hall, the Town Hall, the NIA .....but not the NEC
) and Cardiff has several good venues. I'd like it to be Bristol, can't think why, but have to admit we haven't got any competitive venues.
