There's loads of floor space too, so turn up in droves, dance away your blues and ram the place to the doors. It's a tall ceiling so you can stand on each other's shoulders, jump up and down, sing, shout, drink beer and Fill Yer Boots. We kick off about 9PM and play until the last man standing falls over.....
