I have great memories of seeing De La Guarda at the Roundhouse (several times) some years ago, the venue was great for that spectacular, immersive performance. However, seeing Young Fathers there last week, the venue didn't work so well. The acoustics didn't come close to matching their performance at the Royal Festival Hall last summer, the soulful bits especially were just drowned out. Worse was the one-hour long wait to retrieve my coat after (and there were people behind me!) No apologies from meagre sraff, no response to a written complaint. My advice: don't take a coat, obviously, and consider if the artist you're going to see will work in this unusual venue.
