Sibob Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 You have to audition, and from what I remember, they are week-day auditions, 3 songs. Annoying! Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 That place is still going? I played it years ago (without audition) and didn't rate it. Back then the audience seemed to consist of foreign tourists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Was it called rock house back in the day? When I was young, and before I could play , I always wanted to play there. Never do unfortunately . Usedt to llove working around there years ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 It was the rock garden ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowdown Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 No, the Rock Garden opened up Mid 70's some time, and it's the other side of the Garden from the Roadhouse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobVbass Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 The Rock Garden at Covent Garden! what a hole that was - lugging your kit for miles over a load of cobbles as there was no where to park, playing to a load of tourists who wandered in bemused because Dire Straits played there once ten years before and having to buy tickets off them to "sell" to people for our fee - I wonder why we only played there once!

whynot Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Rock Garden was the north side with Roadhouse on the south. Did the Roadhouse years back one Saturday a month, and a good gig back then for the band i was with. Went direct with no audition but things have probably changed.
