| 29/02/2016 | Function Room | Ground | |||||
This review was provided by TRAX Disco Roadshow Permanent wooden dancefloor Decent house lighting rig available No sound limiter Blinds/curtains provided Air conditioned No stage area Haze/smoke prohibited PARKING: Parking available at back also large public car park nearby ACCESS: Up metal fire escape stears FACILITIES: Venue is a nightclub so has its own amps, DJ booth, lights etc. I used own equipment so set up at side of DJ booth - width available: 2-3m - height clearance: 3-4m STAFF: Great POWER PROVISION: Plenty of 13A sockets in close proximity to setup area ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: "This is a Nightclub on 2 floors the upstairs being the function room. When DJ starts playing downstairs it can be heard upstairs which is a bit awkward if you do a slow set, otherwise just play louder. n nIf you plan to use installed DJ equipment suggest you go to Fat Cats to check it out as staff dont seem sure where all the switches are etc. n nNice pleasant venue to work apart from stairs." | |||||||
