Live: No - Pub re-opend October 2008. Putting bands on again
Stage: Yes - Quite a big stage, right next to the entrance, loads of room to set up. Can be boomy at the bass end though
Carpet: Yes - Carpetted stage area
Changing rooms: No
Stairs: No - Has a ramp, but also an awkward "safety rail" - stops wheelchairs from falling off into the 6" abyss
In house PA: No
Lights: No
Engineer provided: No - Best to put the engineer in the back left hand corner of the seated section of the room. You’ll need 20m of multicore to do this though. Bass resonance can be a problem
Points: About 4 sets of double RCD sockets in the middle of the wall at the back of the stage
Layout: Big room that has the stage and dance floor in one section, and the sitting area and pool table in the other. A natural cordon between the two areas has the effect of making life hell for a sound engineer
