        My gods, it was in there? My girlfriend's main band's first gig
was in there, the stage is so small and the place so low-ceilinged they
had to pass guitars up and down to the balcony during instrument
changes. Also met an excellent comedy punk band called Hacksaw whom
everyone should be aware of: <http://www.hacksaw.org.uk>...

        But I suppose it might be better for a party than a metal gig
:-) Yours,
