As a PR who has previously worked for controversial figures I’d have loved to have been a fly on the wall at this. Sounds like he’s a charming and compelling interview and that perhaps some of the Boxpark hype didn’t come from him but from a Council desperately for positive PR.

Which, of course, would put me right off, as well as the long wooden tables.

This is actually quite encouraging especially with regard to diversity of events – let’s hope that actions now follow words! I am still finding it impossible to find out where the ‘mobile phone number of the sound crew’ can be found (previous article by Lauren refers) – although there have been no further noise problems where I live since early December, this would be a useful bit of information for our residents’ association. Agree with Ian (below) about the toilets – they are not very pleasant!

As a relatively regular visitor to Boxpark I’ve yet to experience any Grime being played, anyone making a pilgrimage in the hope of finding this genre dominating will be disappointed. In the interest of constructive feedback the thing I hear most is the issue of the (not very nice) toilets being closed simultaneously with the units, a small detail perhaps but one that is causing discomfort and inconvenience for many customers.
