Graham Coxon Laments The Large Venue

The Blur guitarist/solo artist has talked about his love for the smaller venue.

Speaking at London's Proud Gallery venue, he said: "This whole venue is about as big as the entire stage Blur were playing on at Glastonbury a couple of years back. This is one of my favourite venues though.

"I mean, it could do with a few more inches on the stage so I can fit all the band on there - we have six people playing tonight - but overall this is the best. I prefer smaller, louder, sweatier gigs."


Amen. Coxon also commented about his going on tour with the Kaizer Chiefs: "I remember going out on tour with the Kaiser Chiefs when their first album came out, and we were playing these huge venues, and then straight after I did my own shows at places like the Buffalo Bar in London, and people were coming up to me saying they'd seen me on the Kaisers tour and surely it should have been the other way round with them supporting me?

"Which of course it shouldn't because they were selling out venues much bigger than the ones I was playing in at the time!"
