Soundcheck & showtimes

Arrival time for soundcheck is 5.30pm latest, leaving 45 mins for setup and soundcheck before guests arrive.

We obsess over sound-checking.  The sound can be reverberant with our tiled walls ie. beautiful when we get it right, muddy if we get it wrong.

Showtimes are 7pm for an hour, then 9pm for an hour (with a new audience).

Capacity is 35 people per show.

Tech specs

We have a front line as follows:

- Yamaha sound desk with 8 channels, reverb etc.

- 2 Mackie 1000W amplified speakers

- 2 mics (Shure 57 and 58)

- 2 passive DI boxes

- 2 mic stands

Note to drummers - sticks are always too loud, bring hot rods or brushes.

Our music dinners are shows, not background music.  We ask that diners respect the artist and talk quietly during performance.

How to get a gig

We're constantly scouting for music that excites us and artists who will fit the vibe.

‍Gigs are only about once a month and so usually we have more artists than we have slots!
