Brilliant… it would be great to hear anything you can remember about the night, the music etc.
Woof.

Yes was there. Raw and yet intimate gig from memory. Neil chatty and Chris feeling the Camden vibe. Rather relaxed atmosphere.

Yes I was there. I was standing right at the stage between them both. The Barfly room was so small they had to go through the crowd to get to the stage. Great to have them open up with "Try It (I'm in Love with a Married Man)" and perform "In Private".

It would be interesting to know how you all got your tickets. Was it through the ballot, or the auction?

Plus… can you remember what I’m Not Scared was like? Similar to the Introspective version, or more like the Eighth Wonder version? And what about Nervously?
Woof.

Alas, yet another lost release. Hopefully it will be brought to us on some enormous archive box release "Bootleg collection vol 25".

Yes I was there, I was stood near David Walliams quite close to the bar at the back of the venue. Neil and Chris came out of a side door on the right hand side and had to walk through the crowd to get to the stage. I think the tickets were won through a Warchild ballot, if I remember correctly you paid £5 or £10 to enter the draw.

My memory of the songs is that they all sounded a bit like the Peel sessions versions, very stripped down electro and just Chris with his laptop (like "It's a Sin" from the Pop Justice compilation).

I won a couple of tickets in the ballot. Then on the night they were asking for donations on the door prob another £5.
Bar was small and at the back corner. Think that was my spot. I had a video phone that I was testing for Orange and recorded certain tracks that were sooooo bad.
