as you can see above from metaleeka it's quite a big stage the roomsize is pretty good too it's split into like a dancefloor area around the stage and a seating area around it couple times bigger than an average pub quite a small bar hope this helps

It's bloody great if you go wireless.....you can do a Freddie Mercury and go bounding up and down the stairs at either side, then go for a wander round the room and wave back at the guys....who says we dick about at practice lol

If I remember rightly, the room holds 200-250 comfortably, but they have had as many as 350 in before.

It's a great venue, a great stage and great people running the place. The only downside, is that it's slightly out of the way, so you would really need to advertise to get the punters in. However, you guys easily sell out the MG, so you certainly have the following.
I'll give you a shout next time we are practicing and you can come down and have a look.
