1) No-one ever knows until he's on stage. If he comes on tonight there's a smaller chance of him playing tomorrow.

2) So far usually around 1am, maybe before, maybe after. I wouldn't arrive any later than 12:30.

3) No dress code.

4) ??? I don't drink so someone else help me out here. I remember them being regular prices for London bars, perhaps cheaper.

5) There's a taxi-rank next to the tube station - usually with a big queue. Maybe get the number of a local minicab firm before you go and call them.

Hi Ellie,

OK.....

1) Does anyone know if Prince will play or not?

He won't play.....and you wanna know why? It's cos I'm going to the aftershow, it's a Saturday night and I can just feel it in my bones. That will be 3 Saturday's in a row that I've attended and he aint played.

2) If so what time does he come on at?

If by some miracle my Saturday curse on the Indigo2 no longer holds water, he came on around 2.15am the only time I saw him (on a Friday I might add). We usually hang at one of the bars on the concourse until around 12-12.30 and then take a leisurly stroll into the venue (no queues and the bar is a bit more dispersed). The DJ will be rolling some tunes, and then, TA-DA!, you'll hear something that sounds a little more 'live' from behind the curtains and you then need to get to your spot!

3) Is there a dress code?

Yep - No Birthday Suits! That's about it I reckon.

4) How much is it for a beer?

A damn site cheaper that the Bars in the main entrance. You'll pay maybe 3.50-4.00 for a beer and a little more for a tipple. I tend to have a couple before going in, then just wait for the bar to clear a little, and get one before it all kicks off.

5) Wheres best place to get a cab after?

Walk outside and along the main drag away from the entrance. As you get to the end, to your right (where the bus terminal is) you will probably see a bloke in a yellow vest, a queue of folks who were quicker getting out than you, and 1 taxi! Actually they start to arrive pretty quick, and to help save costs we found that the bloke who is directing the queue tends to try and lump people in the same cab if you are going to the same place.

Hope that helps!!

Enjoy!
