Bollocks. Ill give it a shot anyway, if not ill head over to kentish town and maybe attempt to get a slayer ticket

I'll give it a shot as well, you might make me look older than I am if I stand next to you.

i wouldnt bother taking a shot at the gaff, the security there can be a bitch with id's

why not team up with someone who is "older looking" and say your with them, its a pub after all so they cant refuse you entry, or turn up with an empty guitar bag and say your playing

They can if they ID you and you ain't got none.

The thing is, unless you live near the place, it's really bloody annoying to get to, so it's quite a risk if you look like a small boy and have no ID. So come if you want, we want everyone in the world to come, but be aware of madness.

but if your with an Adult surely its ok? as long as your not drinking? ah the joys of being old

Oh WHAT?!? Slayer are playing on the same day??!?


ffs

sorry. waaaa. :'(

Slayer are playing the day before at the forum aswell. But the haunted are supporting

Haha, no way. Keep up with the times Pat! You have no idea how strict ID laws are these days, it's fucking ridiculous. This is basically how it worked it my pub - the times that younglings are allowed in pubs vary, but some main general rules stay the same, and the threats are always the same.

In the pub I used to work at, younglings over 14 can come in the pub with an adult as long as they are eating. Come 9pm, no under 18s are allowed in the building at all. The actual legal law of ID'ing now is that if you think the person looks under 21, you must ask them to prove they're over 18. Now, what happens is this. Those lovely kind police of Britain will send secret people into the pub to test you - these people will generally look quite young - under 21, that is - and if you don't ask them for ID, they quickly come and take you off the bar, fine you £80, you'll probably lose your job, and they fine the pub/licence holder a massive, massive fine, something over a grand. It actually happened to my friend Naomi once, they caught her off guard on a busy Friday night, and she went to court and everything. What a load of bollocks. Of course another thing that can happen (but doesn't happen often) is that the police will come in the pub, check all the young people for ID, and if they haven't got any, the fines and what not will happen as before. So basically it's madness.

This is the reason people are generally are lot stricter with ID'ing these days, it's because of these ridiculous laws and threats, and they have to be so careful. Anyway, as The Gaff doesn't do food, and is basically a horrible stinking pub, my educated guess is that they don't allow under 18s in at all, whether you're with an adult or not. So, go at your own risk!

Just found out how far away it is, sod that. I'll have to hang around outside Slayer or something instead.

Agreed, but then Ill just feel incomplete as im going to no gig that night

Slayer shows give me epilepsy.

The Gaff isnt the strictest of public houses but will ID if you look like a toddler.

Will be a good show i'm sure, I has the faith in Londonz

Slayer died, tour got cancelled. lol

beware,the Gaff ID'd me before!! i was 25.
it wasnt really a compliment that i look young,i reckon it was because of the immature aura i give off.
