ACCESS
"Access through door and up a couple of flights of stairs. Tiring but not particularly difficult."

"An absolutely beautiful venue this one. It's recently been refurbished and is genuinely stunning. They have an in-house KV2 PA system (10s I think, I ended up bring in a bass bin to bolster the sound), and some lovely lights which you can trigger with a touchscreen in the booth. Overall a lovely night in a lovely venue. Recommended."

PARKING
"Inner city parking is complete lottery but at set up time you can normally get outside"
ACCESS
"Urgh - bring your own kit and its a 3 floor struggle via the steps."
FACILITIES
"This is the bonus, they normally allow you to use the in-house system rather than lug everything upstairs, there are 4 speakers and a decent dmx light rig - with a touch screen . If you have to set up your own kit the dance floor isn't huge but you'll get on it"
"Short extensions (up to 5m) required"
