Any other tales of woe about venues with nightmare lifts ?
Played the Railway Hotel in Dalton in Furness last night, which by the way ended up being a CRACKING night.
However, arrived to find that we were playing in a back room , two corridoors, 3 fire doors and a narrow flight of stairs from the main entrance.
OK, we can deal with it, so off we go , to find the heating had packed up earlier in the week so the room was a fuckn ice box. Practically had ice on the inside of the windows. The landlady bless her had set up a calor gas heater in one corner to try to take the edge off it, but it hardly touched it.
We were obviously warm enough rocking through the set, but the punters were sat with their coats and balaclava helmets on !
Some of them were even forced to dance to keep warm.......lol
ANYWAY.. what other venues stick in your memory as being the worst lift for what reason. ?
2 more for starters ;
The Carlton rooms at Morecambe -- 5 ( count them ..5 ) flights of stairs and no lift.
Upperby w.m.c Carlisle - metal fire escape up the outside of the building - trechorous in the rain.
