Larsen B Posted February 1, 2005 Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 I'll go to the Corn Exchange if i can get off work okay and if i can afford it. I've only seen them in arenas so i would very much like to seem them at the Corn Exchange. Although how big is the Corn Exchange? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only seen them in arenas so i would very much like to seem them at the Corn Exchange. Although how big is the Corn Exchange?Corn Exchange is only a couple of thousand, quite small compared to some of the bigger arenas they've played recently.I've seen them a few times in large (Reading, TITP, SECC) & small venues (Music Hall, Dundee Caird Hall) and the small venue is a million times better for them.However, after listening to the new CD, I'd be hard pushed to bother ever going to see them again.

french_disko Posted February 1, 2005 Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 Incidently, it's ten years to the day (1st feb 1995) that Richie Edwards was last seen by anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
