I took a few in the Bar. I'll look at them later and post any if they're embarassing enough. I think CD took a few of some performance stuff.
Simon our keys player was filming The Debs and the Amps and had one of his mates come and film us. Both of them were unit directors on LOTR. What a come down.
As soon as I get my DV cam back from repair we can see if there's any worthwhile clips. Sorry but it's very busy before Xmas.

no unfortunately :(

I'd like to thank the Capt, as he did pretty much everything, all I ended up doing was carting some of the gear around and drinking Boddys.

Free of charge :lol:

They used to sell tickets for access to nudity there, of course.

A guy I know used to attend a music school downstairs from there and said they would be regularly interrupted by the "soundtrack" to the movies playing...

Then they would crank the amps to drown it out and then be interrupted by the projectionist complaining that the noise was too loud. Must have been putting the filthy old codgers off their game :shock:

They came to assign the name "Louise" to the "soundtrack". The tutor was The Verlaines' guy, who mic'ed the ceiling and recorded a song named Louise using the background sounds.




After the show on Sunday one of the staff said that they still get trenchcoated characters asking when the film is on :lol:
