Clarky Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 (edited) My band is playing there tomorrow night and - after that thread - can't say I'm looking forward to it that much! Hope I will be pleasantly surprised In the event the venue/promoter has improved a lot I will update that thread Edited April 25, 2009 by Clarky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Just back from an early (6.30-7pm) set at the Water Rats and TBH it was way better than others on the site have suggested - perhaps the venue/promoters have learned from past mistakes? The supplied bass rig was a Hartke HA2000 and an Ampeg 1x15 cab which was perfectly good for my needs. The gear for the drummer and guitarist was similarly solid and functional. The soundman was helpful and professional and we even got enough bodies through the door to turn a small profit (which will go towards our next rehearsal) In truth, I really enjoyed the gig and the venue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Funk Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 (edited) Everyone should play that place once. Anyone who has a good time the first time or thinks they might have a better time the next time should play there again.

Unless ownership has changed, I still think they are a bunch of tossers! In their defence, I quite like it as a venue, and its 5 mins from work which is convenient.

To be fair, I live a 10 minute walk away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
