Fire out? Good. But please Helen can you avoid 29 November 'cos Belshazzars Feast are at CSH? And if you can't get Union Chapel, would you consider Notting Hill Tabernacle? It has 2 large spaces, several small ones for workshops and a cafe and foyer for sessions. It was good enough for the Joe Strummer tribute and it's near my house. I don't remember a London festival since the one at City University campus. It's a brilliant idea. PM me if you are looking for help.
