International Live Music Conference - March 9 to 11, 2001

Anyone who has seen 'The Shining' or 'The House on Haunted Hill', and is gullible enough to have paid any attention whatsoever to our invitation to survive a weekend at ILMC the 13th in 'a lonely hotel in the foggy heart of old London town', will be relieved to know that this year's conference venue will, in fact, be the highly-acclaimed Royal Garden Hotel - the scene of last year's successful event.

The Royal Garden Hotel www.royalgdn.co.uk sits stylishly on Kensington High Street - overlooking Princess Diana's old townhouse, Kensington Palace - and offers a 5 star menu of elegant rooms and services at a price that's hard to beat in the over-priced climate of our capital city.

Guest rooms can be booked at the Royal Garden Hotel this year for as little as £110.00 through the ILMC's official travel agency, The Tour Company. Click the 'Hotel Button' for complete details, and room reservation print out.
