The Chatterton Arms, Bromley

A few dozen of us turned up for a great local band. During their soundcheck a couple of the grumpy locals complained to the landlord about the volume. The band turned it down to a ridiculously low level. Still too loud apparently so the gig got pulled. We'd paid £20 in taxi and bus fares to see the gig and paid good money for mediocre drinks. Between everyone I reckon they took a couple of hundred off us in bar proceeds. The landlord knew exactly what type of band it was well in advance. Moral of this story, if you get asked to play here and you have a drummer...think twice. If you get invited to come to see a gig. Think twice. Bottom line... Unprofessional and not worth the effort!
