INSTRUMENTHEAD LIVE At the Virgin Hotel - Has Anyone Been To?

Just wondering what the setup is there. Which room, is it crowded, is there a bar etc....

Was there Wed & is worth about a half hour, but very cool if not out of your way. Essentially one room with about a dozen or so large pics/reveal & description. We did not stay till the music at 5(did Daze Between) & there is a bar downstairs. Very nice comfy hotel

I went there on first Saturday to see Helen Gillet. It was on the second floor above the bar. The concert was great, like having a private concert. There were probably only about 15 people seriously listening to the concert. But there are only a few places to sit. Also, expensively dressed people looking baffled by the music were frequently coming up the stairs and walking by.

Thanks! Too tired to make it down there anyway.

I went by the first night out of curiosity because I figured there would be an over-capacity crowd to see a free George Porter/Ivan Neville/Tony Hall set. Got right in; maybe 200 people? Low stage meant I couldn't see the band but sounded good (and loud). Stayed for some of Papa Mali, comfortable crowd at that point.

Also: across the street from the hotel I saw Robert Plant talking to a table of people dining outside of Juan's Flying Burrito.
