Polite Advice - Other Stuff - T's & C's
The club welcomes both experienced performers and those new to performing in public.
The club is a music club and to that end we ask people to be considerate to the players when they are on stage,
however, there is a bar and it’s not a library; common sense should apply.
If you want to chat rather than listen, please move to the upper bar.
Musicians/Performers should note the following...
Electric solid bodied bass guitars are permitted (we have one available or bring your own).
Electric solid bodied lead / rhythm guitars are discouraged, we encourage the use of acoustic guitars with or without a plug-in facility.
In order to provide as many slots to artists as possible and to finish as close to 11:00pm as possible,
we ask that you are tuned up and ready to go when you go on stage, apart from minor tweaking of course.We are unable to schedule performers who use backing tracks. It is a live music club.
