Easy load in mate, and absolutely MASSIVE stage area PMSL

Good job you're only a 3 piece - might want to try and strip it down to a duo for Friday!

lol Mmm I've heard its a small set-up...surely can't be anymore crammed than the Sun Inn nr. Burnley.

it is a real squeeze but seen a five piece in there, and they managed fine, they just spread out into the pub a bit more as there's no 'stage' as such. just a corner

good luck with it - it's a nice little pub with a good group of locals

just have some banter ready for the chap at the bar who will be the last one in from the afternoon session ;)

We'll manage...its the audience thats more important, hope they're up fer it!

Tis a tiny space at the end of the bar but the sound is easy to get right if you get the PA speakers up close to the ceiling, we played there as a 5 piece and wondered about the room as and when we felt like it, as the Statesman says above nice bunch and the guy at the bar is mad as a hat~stand he shouted "Shurrup yer shite" the first time then shouted for more and asked if we were coming back soon...I liked him

well one good thing whoever is playing on your left hand side they can order a pint lol !( you will know what i mean & laugh about it) it is very small & because of that you may have a bit of a problem with the sound but dont worry as you will be well looked after & they are great people in there ....we want to play on tit night ...wait till you get there .....enjoy lads !

the guy from the afternoon session is usually the one on his own playing air guitar when you arrive with the gear lol!

If the playing area is 'that' close to the bar we prob advise the bar staff to wear ear plugs...seriously.
Looking forward to the gig and meeting this crazy fecker from the afternoon sesh....that is if I can get over this cold or 'manflu' that's bedridden me for the last 2 days.

it's that close to the bar that the bassist in one band I remember was leaning against it while playing - casual as you like
