Been to the Apollo a few times now and you're right, it is shallow and wide. Feels smaller than Brixton downstairs and generally there is plenty of room near the front if you head right or left. 

There's a nice slope which levels off about four or five metres from the front, which leads to some space I guess.

Three bars in the auditorium as it were, right, middle and centre. Three or four as soon as you walk in the front doors as well.

Asolutely smahing it out the park today Rbangs, chucking out useful information left right and centre.

Long may it continue.

Oh I adore Hold Tight London. Just had to stick it on as I've not heard it in ages. I've never heard it live either despite seeing them umpteen times. Sadly I'm not going to the gigs this tour so that wait goes on.

Going to Blackpool tomorrow, can't wait, still one of my favourite gig venues

Great venue, the sprung floor really adds something. I'm really looking forward to tomorrow's gig too. Should be good

[MichaelsBeard]

Last night in Glasgow is one of the best gigs I've been to... seen them several times before but really felt it last night. A part of me is still lost somewhere in that Private Psychedelic Reel closure.

That said, today at work was a massive struggle though - getting too past it for all nighters followed by a job post a Chem Bros set.

Heading down to London from Leeds in a bit, so excited!

I've seen the Chems a few times (5 I think) but only ever festival shows so I'm really looking forward to it being indoors.  I've got a seated tickets (I messed up when buying) so I'm hoping that doesn't ruin things.  I think someone quoted me earlier in the thread saying they were seated for Orbital and it was good so I'm hopeful.  It'll make going to the bar/toilet easier at least!

Paranoid London are smashing it

That show tonight was amazing, pure life affirming stuff!

I had a tear in my eye during Wide Open and Private Psychedelic Reel. 

 

Fan bloody tastic night 

[Laurenkfj]

Amazing!! first time at the apollo too, great venue

[mufcok]

Blackpool on Friday was something else, taken me 2 days to recover. They really are something else live

I still can't quite get over how good Saturday night was! 

[The Red Telephone]

Looking promising....

I dunno, it's awfully soon for them to return again, they're pretty much only suitable for Other headliner.  She posted something about a John Grant gig being amazing between the 2014 and 2015 festivals, but he didn't turn up again until 2016.  Sometimes Emily just mentions amazing gigs.

I'd be all over it, especially since I've not seen them since 2007, and that was for about ten minutes, before I went back to camp to get out of the horrendous sog.

This is still the same tour that they began in summer 2015, so not much chance of a reappearance so soon. 

They are mates of hers though, what with her husband being their former manager.

Do you know if it's still just one of them touring, with the lights man as the other 'brother'?

Fairly sure it's both of them now.

[The Red Telephone]

So, it's definitely a goer then?

Yeah it's both now, he has returned from academia. 

 

With reference to the Emily Eavis post I don't think there's any chance of them next year. I fully expect to see them headline the Other again in the future though. Hopefully with another run of indoor shows. 

[SwedgeAntilles]

Could imagine them doing a DJ set somewhere given their links to the festival but it'll be too soon for them to be back live.

[Paul ™]

Amazing gig on Saturday, great venue for them too! 

[nikkic]

Really gutted I couldn't make it this weekend, looks like it was a cracker of a show. 

[wwinstanley]

They were awesome on Sunday night.

Would seem too soon for them to play Glastonbury again but anything is possible!

[Tommy101]

Yeah I think EE was probably having a well earned night off even if it was a bit of a busman's holiday.

I really need to get to a Chems gig. I thought they were great at G15 but would love to see them with fresh legs!

[Madyaker]

I need to see them again at one of their own gigs. I saw them at a festival this summer and I enjoyed it but I was a bit too mashed and don't remember it very well.
