Hertford Marquee flooded last night
Last night some idiot tore down a water pipe and flooded the Marquee in Hertford. I looks like it will probably be closed for a while which is bad. The marquee is such a good thing for hertford and local bands it will be a shame not to have it around. what does everyone else think?

I take it that whoever did this has been caught then?
It's bad news for the youth and young adults.

Thanks for telling us, Gemma. Were you there? Last night was a private party so maybe the perpetrator will be known to the people there and easy to track down. Frankly, I wouldn't want to get on the wrong side of the local businessmen who run the Marquee so it was a singularly idiotic bit of tomfoolery, IMHO. Someone must've had their party ruined - and their deposit lost [:(]
Nuala, the subject of another thread on this forum, was supposed to be playing there tonight.

Kev (the promotor) has just emailed his mailing list to say that although tonight's gig is cancelled and will be re-scheduled, it is business as usual from tomorrow. [8D]
He also explained that 'some tw*t tried to hang from the sprinkler system,' thus causing the damage [V]

Agreed Rachel. The management of the club are great guys & I've known them for many years but to be frank the individual concerned must have been having an attempt at a Darwin Award....

Only if he had spontaneously combusted whilst listening to Nuala - but she hadn't appeared at that point, so perhaps the combustion was due to over-excitement, thereby triggering the sprinklers.....

I suspect once identified by the management the person will be only to willing to pay for the damage

yep, the flood was caused by some halfwit monkey boy but dave conway spent all sunday and monday mopping up and the place was up and running by monday night. Although it smells horrible. And most of my record collection's ruined too!

Having also sufferered a night club flood elsewhere, I found jacuzzi anti-algae fluid in the mop bucket helped with the musty smell. My records got soaked too. All I can say is, get them out of their covers quick, before they dry or the glaze in the printing ink welds to the vinyl!

Not trying to tell you how to look after your own records but if this helps: any gunge stuck in the groove may be shifted using a shaving brush and warm water. Just follow the groove around and you may be lucky. Dry the disc off using a handkerchief (yeah I mean a clean one before someone jumps in and says the obvious, strewth!!). It saved a few of mine in the past.
Nuala O'Helpless was due there? Aw darn it! [:D]

when i heard about the flooding the way i heard it was as if all the equiptment there had been damaged so thoughts were it would be a while before it would be open again. glad its alright i guess after a couple of nights of smoke and sweat should sort out the smell from the flooding!
