This is the smallest venue I've been to in a long time, but certainly not the shabbiest. The Constitution in Camden is rather more off the beaten track than most venues in the area, but is fairly unspoilt and certainly has a character of it's own. The bands play in a small room downstairs that makes the 12 Bar Club or Lark In The Park seem quite spacious! However, the temperature down there is nice and cool when the doors that back onto the canal towpath are open, and to my surprise there is a bar serving real ale - I could get to like this place.   One reason I shall be glad when the smoking ban in pubs & clubs comes in.   The sound isn't too good through the very basic PA in this tiny room - but isn't as bad as it often is in some larger and better known venues. It's good enough to recognise the two tunes that the band currently have on their MySpace though.  The whole thing is pretty 'punk rock' from the band to the venue - but the gig is actually a lot of fun!  The atmophere is nice and relaxed, the beer is good (and reasonably priced) and it reminds me that I usually enjoy the smaller pub and club gigs a lot more than seeing well known bands in big venues. London may be a bit of a shithole, but it still has a thriving underground music scene and I love it! |
These Blogs mainly deal with the countless gigs I go to, but there is some other stuff in there too - and the odd rant! I've just finished adding over 900 of my old posts from MySpace on here - everything is now on proper chronological order from 2005 to date - there is a LOT to read. Some of the older links may not work anymore - just click on the highlighted text for links to more info.
