no Pa but some lighting effects. Stage 'area' is errr compact.
I played there with Guns 2 Roses a couple of weeks ago...a 6 piece setup....and there was nowhere to set my gear up, I had to go DI only.
Landlord is great, customers also a great bunch that rocked all night.

apart from the compact playing area (which will obviously be less of a problem for 3 n 4 piece setups) this is a great venue....loved it.

The LL Gary sounds a decent fella, spoke to him on the blower yesterday but never met him. Think we'll be on there later in the year.

Depped for Riff Raff there recently, it was packed. V. resposive crowd, no stage but a playing area in the middle of the pub and being a building of certain age there are big support pillars that are a little awkward for placing the P.A. cabs. House disco is an enourmous E.V. rig. All said you will have a good gigage..

Mk 1, the twos were a bit more expensive supposed to be a bit brighter,but with a few pints of fosters over them cant see it would make much difference, like rockin horse to get 2nd hand spose it says summat !!
