Cantosis, it is the same for me. I live near to Croydon and work in Croydon so that would be fantastic. I too would love to do a meet and greet but when they finish late and I have to get the tube etc back home I can never manage it. If the London transport services were better it would not be a problem but like everything in this country - it's pants!!
Chris Monk said he thought the sound at the Fairfield Halls when he went was bad. Well I have seen them their two or maybe three times and the sound was always very good and I certainly never noticed anything bad there. I have at other venues but not there. Maybe it's just me!!
