Superb venue, I've driven straight past many times and never given it a second glance but it's a big former bowling alley (and in the dim and distant past a cinema) which means there's loads of space and several levels, two bars, massive main room with a high ceiling and balcony overlooking it. This one holds its own against much bigger events and deserves to be better known, that said the main room was packed for most of the night and the second room also did well. Good range of DJ's and some great sets - Ted Massey and Little Scotty are always reliable but the final set from Dean Carr? (I think!) was amazing and so appropriate for that time of the morning one stormer after another. Great crowd and only £1 for lime and soda, what more could you want. Did a couple of sketches of the crowd (I think the balcony sketch was interesting) but failed to draw a DJ as in the main room they are too far away and in the second room behind the dancefloor; must try harder next time! I rarely give 5 stars - I've noticed most reviews are by the promoters of the events who inevitably give 5 stars to everything. I am trying to be objective. 3 Link to review
