… even Belle & Sebastian, apparently. A couple comments from their Tour Q&A page:
Stevie: Yeah the venue was terrible, I’m really sorry, I’m actually really pissed off the truth be known. We won’t be back.
Sarah: I think it would be ok with a third less people in it, but I’m sure we will do whatever we can to play somewhere a bit less long and thin where we can see all the audience and they can see us if they choose to.
There’s also the near-unanimous agreement on the Docks’ crumminess on the B&S forum.
Seriously, who on earth thinks this is a good place to see a band? Least of all when it’s booked to capacity (and beyond?).
I’m distressed that I still seem to be wrought with bile after seeing one of my favourite bands.
