Wow, this has to be the first straight-forward review about anything PSB have done for years. The reviewer didn't try to be pseudo-intellectual and post-whatever by being all 'ironic'.

Mmm... Indeed, Chris Tennant, why did we go to war?

I kind of like the idea of booos when the concert is delayed. It would be unacceptable in a classical concert, unacceptable in theatre, unacceptable in cinema - why is it a rule when pop/rock acts are organising concerts, they are at least one hour late? After all, this was supposed to be classical concert/cinema, not part of a world tour gig.

Delays happen mainly in pop/rock concerts. Try telling the audience at the movies that the film is delayed one hour...

There was actually a sign up in the ticket office which said that the concert had been delayed until 20.45, which was the time it started. Maybe something had gone wrone behind the scenes.

Was it too light to show the film?

I was reading a newspaper till 8.30, then it got too dark. Many simply didn't see the sign saying it starts 8.45
