Stuart Holloway Review of Shepherds Bush Empire
Myself and partner traveled 3 hours from Wiltshire...
Myself and partner traveled 3 hours from Wiltshire to see the Revolution for valentines day and we thought the performance was excellent from Prince's former band, while seated at the top level very near the bar on the far left bench seated area, practically alone with plenty of room to stand and dance, at the end of the gig someone decided to help themselves to my jacket, 10 years old and of sentimental value was just hooked off my seat, Im guessing just to get lucky to find a phone or wallet, staff working the floors and security were absolutely great and very happy to help out anyway they could, so I give them 5 stars for the friendly, professional and helpful approach they took ...but the final punch in the face was when we were about to exit through the main entrance after giving up hope finding my jacket I tried to purchase a Tee shirt to remember the night and may be glaze over how upset i felt, uhhh but NO, the woman with the 40s style pink/red haircut selling the gigs clothing just shot me down point blank...
Me "Please....Could I buy a Tee shirt so that....." but before i could even finish my polite sentence she replied sharply with .....
HER "NO.... WE ARE CLOSED"
Me "OH..but there right there in front of you" stands a HUGE pile of Ts
Her "NO...WE..ARE...CLOSED"
Me "Cool...gets jacket nicked, cant buy T shirt either"
The rudest response I have ever experienced after 100 gigs I've ever been too, manners cost nothing...just not what we expected to get after being robbed in the venue.. If I was her employer and took time to read this, I would be having word with her. I'm frankly disgusted with the final end to the evening because of her.
