Was the venue pretty well filled?

It was only a small-ish venue anyway, and they only sold standing tickets - but the space was pretty full id guess there were about 200 of us maybe?? thats a complete guess though - i was at the front too so i couldnt see all the way to the back.

It definitely felt full up, really great atmosphere, everyone seemed really excited and up for a laugh. After saga begins, when everyone had been singing along, on the last note, Al seemed really happy, he was smiling - don't know if he was a bit surprised at how many of us knew all of the songs

Thats gotta be the smallest crowd he's played to in almost 30 years! I have to wonder how much he got paid for it, versus ticket sales. Im surprised he just didnt sit at the front of the stage and sign for all of you.

Maybe i'm wrong.......i'm really bad at guessing that kind of thing!! it definitely wasn't a massive venue.

..ok just asked my boyfriend and he reckons 400-600 people maximum. so maybe i was a bit off!!
