QUOTE (newres @ Nov 4 2017, 10:03 AM) Does anyone on here ever get along there? It's Newbury's treasure for live music and comedy.
Last night we saw Marriage of Figaro by Kennet Opera, but really it's more of a blues venue. Next week I'm seeing Bernie Marsden, but over recent months I've seen Elles Bailey (up and coming blues singer) supported by my cousin, Hugh Cornwell, Joanne Shaw Taylor and lots more besides.
In the past we saw a fantastic and poignant show by Sean Hughes. It is a great venue and deserves support. Seen some brilliant acts there over the last few years.

QUOTE (Andy Capp @ Nov 4 2017, 12:24 PM) It is OK for a sit and watch event, but the bar is sparse and the venue is a little out of the way compared to, say, The Corn Exchange. The seats in the Corn Exchange are a r s e killers though!

QUOTE (blackdog @ Nov 5 2017, 01:17 PM) Parking's a lot cheaper. Last time we patronised the Corn Exchange I miscalculated the finishing time of the performance and had to rush out at the interval to feed the Wharf ticket machine . Not exactly helped by the fact the wretched things don't give change . Little wonder everyone parks in Sainsbury's , but they are tightening up on the 2 allotted hours .

In the evening on street parking is free at least.

QUOTE (SirWilliam @ Nov 20 2017, 11:08 AM) It's interesting to note that an element of society consider it perfectly acceptable to break the law , vis a vis speeding , making light of their punishment , yet become apoplectic over a "non pc" remark . The law is the law , contravening it is , in my book , unacceptable . In my case my indiscretion was accidental, often what people say is deliberate. I also disgree that breaking the law is always unacceptable, especially if the law is ‘unacceptable’.
