Live: Yes - Time stamp 1/9/08
Stage: Yes - Huge separated area in which there's enough room for all your kit, the van, a few groupies, and a walk-in beer fridge
Carpet: Yes
Changing rooms: No
Stairs: Yes - There are about 6 steps at the back, but it's easy access and you're straight onto the stage after that
In house PA: No
Lights: No
Engineer provided: No - Even though the stage is easily big enough to take the speakers, you'r probably best stacking them in front of the railings. Engineer's can set up where he wants - there's plenty of good spaces.
Points: 4 power points in the DJ's hut at the back of the stage area
Layout: Very difficult to describe. Long and thin is probably the simplest. Most of the seats are at the opposite end of the pub, out of sight - though there are a few in front of the stage area
