Are all the academy's next to each other, i've only ever been to academy 1.
Academy's 2 and 3 are in the building to the right of the Academy 1, there's a bar downstairs, and a bar for each of the rooms upstairs.

It was a bit worse than just rain, didn't the staging break???
I think there might have been some water on the stage...

What a load of shit, last year I went to the Edinburgh 'celebrations' and they cancelled the concrt and then the street party at about 11pm! Because it was raining... I would have thought to at least expect that.

Really? How's that and what for? I think they don't take too kindly to crowdsurfing in there, and people who stand at the edge of the balcony...

In the 80's this was an awful venue. It was all seated and the bouncers made sure that your arse was connected to the velvet will zealous glee. But it transformed itself when it fitted removeable seats, and now it is as good a venue as any in town, with a sloping floor to give those at the back a view.
However, I was dreading sitting up in the circle last night at FF, thinking it would evoke memories of the bad times, but in actual fact the view is rather good up there and standing was not a problem. And now I've nearly arrived at the ripe old age of 34, I kind of like parking my ample behind on occasion. Excellent!
I think it's a great venue now. I've only ever been in the standing area, but because the floor slopes, it means that most ppl get a decent view, and it has a really good atmosphere. I've been to so many gigs there now, and still have four to go there before the year is out! Joss Stone, Groove Armada, Faithless and The Prodigy! Can't Wait!!!

It will say on the ticket either way, and normally it will say Academy 1, or Academy 2 & 3, which will be either of the two. I really like the Academy 3 as a venue, nice and intimate. I think Travis played in the Academy 2 recently, which would have been amazing, but it's still quite big.
