Wrong venues.

This image was used by the BBC to illustrate a QEH concert. Which venue is it, actually?

I think that's Reading town hall

Has this happened before?

Thanks. Further on, Ulster Hall seems to hit the spot. Only 321 miles odd, out.

What's this one.... and why is it so poignant...?

Maida Vale?

Maida Vale?

Sadly soon no longer to be. Many happy memories. To close by 2023.

It looks uncannily like the old Studio 7 in Manchester, now demolished and superseded by a near-carbon copy over the water.

Is that the HQ9 Media City one? It doesn't sound like Studio 7 does it? On Chandos, 7's recordings often have an engaging sparkle and space; if occasionally a bit studio-clinical.....
Not heard many from MediaCity but it seems closer, darker and bassier.... but maybe its down to engineering choices....

I haven't taken a tape measure to it, but its dimensions look very similar. The baffling on the walls is slightly more sophisticated, and is more easily adjustable - perhaps that would account for the different sonic properties - I haven't noticed it myself. I have recordings from both venues so I'll listen more closely next time. Just listened to Bax 3 (Studio 7). Will compare with Nielsen 5 later (Salford). (But my ears are resembling cloth these days.......)
