Review

We had fun - was a lovely sunny day in Brighton then into the dark theatre at night. I thought the venue was a bit too big for the genre and location, but we caught Katja Von Kassel, who was amazing, and the DJ was great. We left to go meet a friend, and when we returned, we found we had missed Oppenheimer Analysis! I was surprised because I assumed they would be on last. In fact, a depeche mode tribute band was on last. I struggled with the fact a tribute band was headlining. But I was able to chat to Katja, Andy Oppenheimer, and Martin Lloyd, which was an honour!
