Exactly what I said back on 30th November.  See Digest V98 #328.
I think that a 'professional' type camera would be a single lens reflex
one (SLR).  Compact types (used to be called 'instamatic' in the UK) are
generally OK.  Beware (This is serious!) if they see you have an SLR at
the door they may ask you to leave it and collect it on the way out.  I
personally wouldn't want to do that with MY camera.

With the venue being the "Shepherd's Bush Empire", I'm not surprised
people are having difficulty finding references to it just as "Empire". 
Remember the confusion over the Jazz Cafe and The Jazz Cafe?!!!

Level Best Regards,
Steve
