Darn you, Shepherd's Bush Empire

[CharlieB]

With a show to go to tomorrow evening (Saint Etienne), I thought I'd phone them up to see whether I could put a folder in their cloakroom.
No you can't, was the reply.
Is this common?

Probably not insured if it gets nicked.

Call again and ask if bags can go in the cloackroom
Put it in a bag, (Bin liner will do)
Then it's a bag

On a side issue I used to run a merchandising company, and I know that a lot of the cloakrooms are tiny, not much bigger than cupboards, I seem to remember the Empire was one of those

mm. "St Etiene" are quite good though are they not, sort of euro popy sort of stuff.

Nor really, although Sarah Cracknell is very weak live.

I thought they were more of a chilled-out, laid-back jazz cafe kind of thing.

But I may be wrong!

The Fridge at Brixton always used to let me put my bike in the office. It cost me a pint of warm beer.

that's a cheap price for a bike

Thats a lot better than leaving your bike "outside" in "Brixton" as that usualy guarantees that you will be needing a new bike on you return!!

nope. I've had it in the Science museum (they made us check the spanner in the bag we had at the door though - and then let us through to head to the cloakroom on our own steam with two folded up bikes - what's with that?) and also at Sadler's Wells without any issue.

Might be a bit late now and I dont know what time the gig will finish - but Paddington Station has a left luggage facility - http://www.left-baggage.co.uk/locations.php

Open until 23.00 everyday and ideally placed on the Hammersmith and City Line - you can use Goldhawk Road tube station to get to SBE

Thank y'all. In the end I skipped the bike commute today - bummer. I'll post how gig was

 

[CharlieB]

Saint Etienne excellent - Sarah in fine voice, despite throat infection she mentioned. Totally recommend.
