Stingray5 Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Ok, I'm not quite 65 million years old, not yet, but if any London-based BC'ers are around on Friday evening (28th June) and fancy a trip over to the Natural History Museum in South Kensington, I'm playing a short (and I do mean short!) set with singer/songwriter Jeanette Murphy in the museum's Central Hall. It's for their monthly live music series "Lates with Mastercard". There are ten acts playing, each one does a 15 minute slot. Best of all, it's free admission. Be nice to meet and chat with any BC'ers - or come to that, anyone else that'll talk to me...!!!

Silvia Bluejay Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Excellent. You have Paul on drums too, am I right? Jack and I will make sure to pop down and catch you guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molan Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 I've played in that hall - acoustics are great fun We played for a Price Waterhouse summer ball and it really was an amazing setting! Hope you have a brilliant time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack and I will make sure to pop down and catch you guys [/quote] Yep, Paul is with us, too, though he'll mainly be playing Cajon (unless he can jump on someone else's kit ). Great if Jack can make it too. I should have contacted him though I only just received final confirmation and details myself.

molan Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 We were entirely spoilt by having a bespoke build stage and top notch sound crew so it wasn't too tough for us. It's a bloody tall ceiling though! If you get a chance see if you can get up to the balcony area that overlooks the hall when someone else is playing. The view of the hall with people in and music on is amazing. In fact, if it's open maybe get someone to take some pics of you playing from up there. They'll look great in the portfolio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to visit the NHM regularly at one time (along with the Science Museum, of course) so must admit the opportunity to play where once were dinosaurs was most tempting. Definitely a big room!

Silvia Bluejay Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 (edited) In 2012 I spent many evenings at the NHM, V&A and Science Museum with the Mastercard Lates and Priceless nights, so I'm very familiar with those museums. If you guys are going to play on the landing of the main staircase, that's going to be magic.Expect my usual billion photos...
