The Roundhouse is an architectural triumph and is small enough that people like me, with er, less stamina, can sit out the thronging party at the Crisis Consequences Concert whilst still feeling connected to what’s going on.
We went to see the eclectic, genre-bending Danny’s Last Dance, but in the supporting line-up were Paul Weller, Supergrass and Dirty Pretty Things. My contact there said that security on the back gate apparently got a roasting from the management once they realised that Danny’s limousine had been turned away so that Paul Weller could park his trelicopter. As if… I don’t even know what a trelicopter is.
It was reassuring to see that Banksy had maid a reappearance after a clearly less talented rival had painted over it. Graffiti? No thanks, but this is art that elicits a smile and adds great value to the whole quirky Primrose Hill / Camden thang. Especially as she keeps the pavement clean ’round there.
