| 27-Jan-2010 Kings Place: Hall One | Christian Immler and Helmut Deutsch at King's Place |

I went to a concert at King's Place - the beautiful new building housing The Guardian Newspaper offices located on the edge of the Regent's Canal at King's Cross. It's convenient for transport, houses two intimate concert halls, two art galleries and a wonderful entrance hall with cafe and dining facilities, a canal-side bar and comfortable sofas to meet one's friends. Sadly few people were there last Wednesday for a concert that was another overlooked gem.
