Not sure it was really suitable for a pop concert.

From what I read on other forums, Kenwood was one of the worst venues that Will has ever done, the weather was crap, people were continually ordered to sit down and Will was a dot in the distance, he did his best under the circumstances, but the venue was totally wrong for an act like his in my opinion, I think it's more suited to orchestras and acts like Katie Melua, Jools Holland etc. This bit in the article is enough to put me off going. QUOTE IMG said trying to keep to the current limit of 12 decibels above allotted background noise levels meant the concerts were "an ineffective form of entertainment for significant numbers of the paying public."

I didn't realise there was somewhere else to go I didn't get that wet - we were walking back to our seats and ended up walking past the band, but had left my coat on my chair which got drenched!!! And for some reason I had left my passport in the pocket . So when it got chilly later on my only option was to put on a wet coat and that's on top of sitting on a wet deckchair which was sinking into the wet mud Twas quite an interesting venue.
