On my previous visit in August the place was packed to the gunnels with some great DJs playing and I had a really good time, but moaned about the state of the floor.

Last night the floor was still misbehaving but I enjoyed the evening so much more. It's not a wood floor so can feel a bit grippy and it doesn't breathe so condensation can make it slippy!  Hairaising if you cross from grippy to slippy!! :rofl: A bit of musical mopping and opening the windows helped but the real problem was the person who put oil on it! A liberal application of talc soon soaked that up and thereafter the floor behaved impeccably.

So what was so good about last night compared to the jam packed event in August? The crowd felt right for the size of the room. Comfortably full without feeling like a sardine. Great atmosphere, good vibes, nice people.

It's a great venue. Easily accessible from the M6, really quick bar staff, low bar prices. The DJ roster was excellent and the music first class. The floor was busy but there was room to move. For me it achieves the perfect balance between the small room intimacy of soul clubs (without the handbags) and the authenticity of big venue niters (without being in a fancy barn).

It's just how I like my soul served! I will definitely be back for second helpings.
