About The Borderline:

This subterranean Soho music venue has host to numerous big name acts in its 14 year history. Tiny and unbelievably intimate, you're guaranteed a decent view of the stage, and the eclectic line-up encompasses all musical styles. The venue is located just a few blocks away from the legendary former 2i's coffee bar in Soho, London.

Gig 1: 29 April 2005First of two gigs in a row at The Borderline. The place was packed, and I spotted Sarah in the crowd. Brian had a home advantage that night .... supported by many family members.

Gig 2: 30 April 2005

Completely sold out show. The band were in a fantastic shape and enjoyed themselves playing. A lot of familiar faces in the audience again, some of them I saw already in Sutton the week before. A review is included in the photo album. Click on the pictures to get to the album, unfortunately some poor photos only (click on the photo to the left).

A brief comment: 
Packed venue close to Braintree, very hot in there, people stood like sardines in a tin. The gig was still with Pete Wingfield on keyboards. Some low-key photos possible, mainly by mobile, will try to post the best ones before too long. Lovely hosts there and a great atmosphere.
