Okay- here's the deal. I booked from the US - pre-arrival in the UK- to see a Rolling Stone Tribute band.

Wanted to go as I'd seen a few excellent trib. bands in the US.First-place is hard to find. As a pilot I navigate well-however the directions to the place- oblique and difficult to find.

Had to ask directions several times and found that what was printed on the site -very inaccurate.Second - we arrive to a rather "clueless" -who knows what's going on type environment.

Eventually we were told that the band would start 1 1/2 hours late. Great.Third- there are no chairs to watch-it's standing room only. Fine- but put that on the web page. So we all kind of stood around for an hour and 1/2 and the band was "ok".Could be much better.

Here in the US- "time is $$" So if we're scheduled to begin at 8:00pm- then at 8:05- we're strumming our guitars.Yes, I'm a stickler for time and money. As an airline captain-the people in the back of the airplane -expect me to deliver safety and on time- and I, too expect others to do the same.I was rather disappointed."Lady Capt."

A pub which blurs the lines between traditional and modern; the Half Moon boasts an eclectic mix of patrons from the die hard regulars to students popping in to catch a new upcoming band.

This diversity in those who frequent the bar is reflected by the live music that has previously haunted the stage. Many bands from the 'Golden Age' of Rock and Roll have played there, sometimes surprise gigs, and the pub now books the best tribute acts around of these now defunct bands.

From Golden Age to New faces; the Half moon caters for all musical tastes at a cheap price. But music isn't this pubs only strong point.

A recently revamped front, seperated from the music venue, plays host to the main contingent of the Half Moon's customers. There is a juke box full of tunes and a constant pool competition with everyone welcome, but prepare to go back to the bar disappointed because the standard is always high!

The icing on the cake is the helpful bar staff; always interested to talk and above all courteous, this pub really does leave you wanting to come back another evening.
