Well….it better be FREE 😉 (sic!)
Do I have to roll up my trouser leg?
No, but you need to wear your Mason’s apron.
Never been inside but from Google images this appears to be a reasonably sized shoebox shaped hall.
Any potential?
In its heyday the Covent Garden Festival (not connected to the opera house) used to do some adventurous concerts in there. It is a fine hall, but with audience largely seated on the two longer sides of the rectangle, facing each other, with a flat central space between them (there are also galleries above), it is not an ideal building for conventional concerts, but it had great scope for doing more imaginative, dramatic musical projects. For instance, I remember TKC’s big “Philip the Fair” reconstruction working really well in there for the festival, including processions from all corners and incorporating a significant amount of theatre lighting: it was a terrific show. So for that sort of production it is a great performance space, but probably not as a “regular” London concert hall. However, its location couldn’t be bettered, right in the heart of Covent Garden.
Error…that’s a very small part merely showing the organ. It’s one of if not the best art deco building in the uk
I know quite a few who will be tuning in. Great instrument.
Your name is not Anthony Sayer. That is the name of the Grandmaster of the lodge of England.
What time will this be for those on PDT? Thank you.
It is a little difficult to be definite , Charlie krefting, because our GMT clocks go ahead by 1 hour on 27 March, and I don’t know when or if yours do get advanced, but my estimate would be that it will be either 10 a.m. or 11.a.m. PDT
