[kj] April Fools - Royal Festival Hall?

[gingoblin at easynet.co.uk]

Oh yeah, I'd forgotten you'd seen Motorhead there... another unbelievably 
unsuitable band for a place like that!

It's really putting me off going, especially as the date is far from ideal 
for me. But then again, I can't really handle not seeing KJ on these dates. 
Half-wittery abounds again it would seem... why couldn't they just play one 
of the many decent places in London?!  Or play up here, the southern jessies!
