Looks superb, just listening to 'Housewives'.

Saw some great comedy, and a lot less, but equally great music at both the old and the current Albany Empire - long time ago now, but remember the current (keep wanting to say new, but we're talking 35 years ago) one was a great venue.

Have a great gig.
