It may be where it's located - in that sort of 'Bermuda Triangle' where Sandwell, Walsall and Wolverhampton all meet, I must admit this area confuses me a bit I'm never sure exactly where I am! Looking back though I'm not sure why I didn't come; third Saturday seems to be another of those days when there's not a lot on whereas the fourth Saturday always has multiple events. In any case this is a good reliable local night - fairly large club, nice sprung woodstrip dancefloor (showing its age a bit but to me that's an advantage), stage, sound system did sound incredibly loud at first but soon got used to it. Considering that Goodyears, a couple of miles away, was (unusually) on at the same time this was a packed out night. Good range of DJ's, local names, solid sets, nothing too esoteric, just good trustworthy stuff. Nice crowd with a throng from Penkridge, Pelsall, Stafford, Darlaston etc. so shows this place is a reliable destination in the wider area. I've also decided that having missed out on this place before, my plan for the year is to visit all of the Black Country and South Staffordshire venues at least once this year just in case I'm missing out on something good. Did a couple of sketches - even though we got there at 8:30 most of the tables at the front had gone so got a decent position but couldn't see the dancefloor particularly well. 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. Link to review
