Dark Barn, Newent, Gloucestershire

[bobpalt]

We played a gig at the Dark Barn a few years ago, and they had a noise limiter which, from memory, was only set at 88db and completely spoiled the night for us and a large part of the audience. We kept setting it off, even though everything was set on "1", and had to ask the audience not to applaud as they kept setting it off as well!

Anyway, we vowed never to play there again, but have had a booking enquiry from someone who is very keen, but upset to learn of our previous problems. They have checked with the venue and have been assured the limiter is now set at 100db, but can anyone confirm this? Has anyone played there, and if so, were there any problems? It was so bad last time that we really dont want to go there again, but on the other hand we dont want to let anyone down and its a shame to do so if things really have improved.

Any help gratefully recieved!

Thanks,

Bob
