Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
That sound check is insane. The Arctic Monkeys are so rubbish. 3 days of it!

Bloody miserable NIMBYs - I like the fact that we have top bands playing locally. I would say however from experience (Stone Roses & Arctic Monkeys) that the facilities provided are woefully inadequate for the 50k capacity licence. You're better off as a local hoping for a favourable wind and enjoying the free music in the comfort of you own home/garden.

Agree with you Tunbridge Wells, best acoustics Whightman Bridge; see you next time theres an interesting gig.
And no Alex, not NIMBYs at all, if you read all the posts you will see that a large number enjoyed a free gig from their house and others have justified concerns about getting kids asleep etc, only a minority were 'miserable'.

On Grand Parade I had to leave my flat to be able to hear the concert. Not even the Arctic Monkeys could take out the noise from the traffic, buses, old ale emporium and unceasing accordion playing on Green Lanes. Not complaining though, I love the noise.

We do seem now to have a whole family of accordion players siting themselves between McD's and Barclays bank. They must be earning a living anyway to keep it up. It can be quite cheery especially when going under the ugly bridge.
But I suppose they need a licence to play on the streets and if they keep it up perhaps they may be asked to produce on.

I am not touching them Hugh! I said positive things…. but we have to acknowledge that the long arm of the law might ask them for a licence one day and they may move on.
I am rather fond of the older guy, he's dad or granddad I reckon. I'm sure they look after each other and take it in turns.

I daresay you can't hear them all the time from your perch on Hewitt Road, Hugh - but from my back garden it's a bit like living next to a fairground. I liked it at first but now am heartily sick of the sound.
Reminds me of an old Far Side cartoon - two guys have died and are being ushered into the afterlife. The first is told "Welcome to heaven - here's your harp." The second: "Welcome to hell - here's your accordion."...
