Played there about 10 years ago, so its probably all changed now. The main thing i remember is being in a small room and that they took a line from our desk to the house PA to 'pipe the music' round the bar. Only problem was the only thing going through the PA was the vocals!
Other than that can't remember much, sorry!

yeh I think I did it with my Buskers Ball cronies as part of the In the City about 12 years ago...doesn't it have a lift to upstairs?? We had a PA (of sorts)provided. Seem to remember it was full of trendy young things who didn't give a monkeys and totally humourless bouncers.

They gave us a full day to ourselves...vagely remember being bored by the place around tea time, and totally pissed off at last orders. May have changed though

@Night Train,
Yep forgot about no one being interested!

As we keep saying 'May have changed'
