Live: Yes - Time stamp 1/9/08
Stage: Yes - Tiny triangular stage stuck in a corner of the room. Bands bigger than a 3 piece will struggle to get on it
Carpet: No
Changing rooms: No
Stairs: Yes - A couple, and then it's up a ramp. Quite a short carry
In house PA: No
Lights: No
Engineer provided: No - There’s a decent sized room area to the right where your sound man can set up quite comfortably - and watch the boats on the canal! Bonus!
Points: 3 sets of RCD’d power sockets along the back wall behind the band
Layout: Big open plan pub, but the shape of it makes it a bit difficult to know where to aim your speakers...it’s an L-shaped place with a fairly compact stage area right in the corner (yes, it must have been that same designer again!), so bands bigger than a 3-p
Restrictions: Beamed ceiling means you’ve got to be careful how you place the PA speakers - and there isn’t much room for lights!
