Had such a great evening here. Went to see Daisey Moon and Roza Terenzi. Great sound. Intimate venue. Great bar staff. Roughly half venue given over to chill out and chat, with a rave cave to the rear. Will keep an eye out for other stuff going on here as I liked the venue so much.

It’s truly disheartening to see a place that once held so much promise for nurturing new talent fall into such a disappointing state. What should be a vibrant platform for creativity and growth has instead become a shadow of its potential. Watching this decline is not just sad—it’s a loss for the entire community it was meant to support.
