ACCESS: I was in the Music Room for this booking. Single Door access from the front of the venue (adjacent to the Main Entrance). Probably be prepared for a 10m walk from your vehicle to the entrance of the room. FACILITIES: I set up in the corner for this gig, as there were two 13A Sockets to plug into. White ceiling so and walls so its great to Mood Light behind your Set Up area. Comfortable fitted a 4FT Desk and Overhead Bar with two Speakers on Stands either side without an issue, and that was sufficient to fill the room. STAFF: Staff were great, friendly and approachable. POWER PROVISION: Not sure ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: "Two 13A Sockets behind the DJ Set Up area. Music Room required a Small Set Up. Didn't pick up any Wi-Fi Hotspots unfortunately." | |||||||
