Description : A substantial `pub` venue, with two rooms, packed full of techy support for the rock inductry; lights, PA, mixing desks, stages. A very busy site, with a need to book well in advance, this pressure is less during the mid-week which will suit the `free improv` scene.

Room description : refer to photo. There is a high-raised stage. Fridges for bottled beers maybe an issue to be aware of. A very good rock-music type pub venue. Mixing desk-box on the left of the photo could be an obstacle. Lighting rigs maybe an issue, but noise generated mainly during start ups. For the `free improv scene` author suggests the groups would abandon the stage and use the floor space.
