Terrible venue to deal with as a music promoter. They will secure you a booking with fake promises and then hold you to a contract which was never signed or agreed to & blackmail/force you to make payment on no grounds based on a minimum bar spend which we were told we could 'reevaluate based on ticket sales'. They will send you texts from multiple phones consistently threatening trying to get payment & also call you ruthlessly in the middle of the night. We sold 10 tickets leading up to the event and were told 'this isn't a basis for reevaluation'. Backed us into a corner and forced us to go ahead with the event after falsely giving us security and offering 'support for new/upcoming promoters' I recommend any promotors/artists looking to book this venue should be very weary with how they approach and deal with Tina & Dave.
Not only this, the venue sound technician is very aggressive and did not give us the chance to edit the sound configuration to suit our event. We brought our own personal sound tech who was driven out of the venue by the venue's tech by aggression and rudeness. The sound tech then continued to spend the rest of the night outside the venue not managing sound levels and talking to bouncers/owner for the rest of the night, meaning the sound desk was unattended. When asked to make changed he told us 'this is my venue let me do it my way'. The venue has the worst sounding funktion one system we have ever heard in our lives.
Not one to usually leave reviews like this but I think it's important for the public/future promotors and artists to be aware of how this venue works so they don't have to go down the same path as us.
