I agree that a response from the CCA would be useful. I was in there this afternoon, and asked at the front desk. The first person I asked knew nothing about it, but a second person would go no further than saying that it was a private event, that the CCA had simply hired the space out, and that they weren't responsible for the event itself. I didn't push it though - it seemed unfair to expect people who aren't CCA management to defend management's decisions - we really need to hear it from Graham McKenzie.
It was weird looking at N55's show afterwards though - having looked at www.n55.dk I'm sure they would feel less than happy.
