Default Nice Place to Play!

Next month, some friends and I will get to perform here, in Royal Albert Hall in London. Nice place! https://www.royalalberthall.com/your.../virtual-tour/

Prom Praise on May 5th.

I would be blown away just to see a show there, but to play there?

Wow!

That's the equivalent of playing Carnegie Hall. I've only been there once to see Clapton.

Congrats.

Saw a lot of acts there, including Simon & Garfunkel, Johnny Winter, and, I think, Emmylou Harris and many more ... my friend had an aunt who was a booking agent and we usually got the Queen's box. (five seats, waitress service throughout)

Beyond awesome! Have fun and soak it in.
I got to play at the "House of Blues" in Dallas. Does that count ?

I have been asked to play out in the hall before...does that count? I've also been asked to go out in the road and play on the yellow stripe but I don't think they meant that in a nice way!

but seriously, congratulations! What an honor. I would love to just see the place much less be asked to play there!
