Pretty cool venue, the downstairs is sloped giving a better view for all the audience but is pretty straining on the back and calves. It's a shame we saw such an awful artist here (Ben Howard) as I suspect it could have great acoustics but it was hard to tell given the odd new album and not playing a single one of his songs in the style it was recorded in. I don't think I have seen an artist and been so disappointed, he clearly didn't deserve to sell out this venue four nights on the trot. The show was a let down but the venue was quirky enough to keep me interested.
