Review of Islington Assembly Hall

We recently went to see the wonderful Lisa Hannigan and it was our first visit to the Islington Assembly Hall.Great venue and gig but I have to say the continuous sound of bottles being slung into bins and the noise of glasses being bashed around, even a trolley being rolled out during the gig was absolutely awful. You might get away with this if there is a metal band bashing it out on stage but not with acts like Lisa. I went to see Damien Rice in Galway last year and the bars closed as soon as he came on stage. Maybe a practise you should consider...
