Kids In The Hall:The sight Craig Hassall and Lucy Noble miss more than anything: a packed auditorium at the Royal Albert Hall.
Imagine planning your birthday party. Not just any old party: we re talking a full year of celebrations. Entertainment on a daily basis, including some of the biggest names in music, who agreed to turn up for the occasion. Imagine the organization this would require, the figuring out of dates and time slots, the negotiations with agents and managers – in addition to producing the entire show yourself. You would start preparations at least a year in advance, as you didn t want to leave anything to chance. You d tell your friends and family about it early, so they would have no excuse for not showing up to at least one of the 365 days of festivities. And now, imagine that about four months into your grand announcement, life as we know it comes to a standstill.
