Somerset, London, UK July 17th

ArlGonzalez6 · May 16, 2011, 12:35 PM

Roll Call!
I've never done this before, but I'm looking for friends to attend with. My travels to Europe this summer will have me in Germany around this time and I'm just looking to hook up with cool people in London and have a great time at this concert. Since MMJ fans are amongst the coolest people on earth I figure this is semi-safe and would begin with facebook friending =) I'm a huge fan, awaiting the new album and have never been to the UK before.

There'll be a few of us there - you'll be able to find us front and centre! We'll see about the possibility of a pre-game meetup closer to the date...

Anyone else out there realize that Erykah Badu is playing the same night - What are the chances that she would make it over for "Tyrone." One can only hope i guess. I am sure the show curfew will play a part in this.

MarkW · Jun 02, 2011, 06:26 AM

Normal curfew at Somerset House is 11pm - can't see it being any later on a Sunday...

Still waiting for mine...

dylanquirt · Jun 22, 2011, 06:04 AM

gotcha - let me know when you get yours - I am having my shipped to work, which always gets me a bit worried

dylanquirt · Jun 24, 2011, 06:09 AM

Has anyone ever been to this venue for a show ? I see they offer a ticket for an extra fee with access to a terrace bar....thinking about this as it might be the best way to actually see the show, assuming that it has a view of the stage. Any ideas ?

MarkW · Jun 24, 2011, 08:07 AM

Somerset House is a great venue - it never feels too packed, and I've always managed to get a good view. I think the terrace bar/restaurant at the venue is facing The Embankment, and won't give you a view of the show at all - it's probably just for eats and drinks?

kindofken · Jun 24, 2011, 10:32 AM

Can't wait for this show have read plenty of good reports about the venue Somerset House if the rain holds off it should be an awesome evening. This'll be my third time seeing MMJ live. They cancelled their last Dublin show a couple of years back (think it was the time Jim fell off a stage in Liverpool or somewhere and broke his wrist) but they never rescheduled anyway they haven't added a Dublin date so far this summer but i'm more than happy to head over to london to catch them ! Bring it on 8)

dylanquirt · Jun 25, 2011, 12:31 PM

Great - I love the idea of not being too packed. Nothing worse then a venue that cant accommodate the size of the crowd, which just isnt fair. I also like the idea of not having to fight for a decent spot. I did some research and yes the terrace bar isn't stage facing....really looking for to this after all the new live stuff ive been hearing and seeing.

there are a few good shows for download on

Oh yeah! Got my tickets in hand now, god bless the international postal services. Now I can relax...
At the moment the 2008 bootleg NewPort Folk festival spins on repeat! So nice to experience the music stripped down acustically, kind of gives new meanings. If you havent listened to it, check it out on the www.thesteamengine.net/.

All the best from Sweden-see you soon folks! :)
