Matt: I've played there many times myself. Have to say that that in itself rather proves my point: can't say there's ever been anyone in the audience who had "just turned up on spec".

Me, almost certainly, if you've played there a lot. I'm on their email list, but I'll just go up sometimes without even checking out who's playing. Used to do the same at PoerPoint in Brighton, too.

And all my kids do it...just go along to see random bands without knowing them, that is. One of them's in London and another's now in St Petersburg, so she's seeing *really* random bands!
