Linus27 Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Has anyone played at Tommy Flynns in Camden? Is it any good and worth playing at? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Horse Murphy Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 (edited) Played there last December Michael. Very good (Irish) venue and we were well received. We were asked to play there again next month but unfortunately our singer is getting married (selfish). It's a really good venue for originals bands as well too apparently. Toilets are a bit rubbish though and someone spilt a pnt all over my shoes. Edited July 9, 2009 by Old Horse Murphy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How big is the venue/stage and do they have their own back line or take your own? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 We played there last year on a weekday evening - bit quiet TBH (we were competing with Euro 2008). Small stage (basically the corner of the pub) which isn't a problem for us as we are a trio. We used the supplied backline which wasn't the best (Ashdown bass combo IIRC) so I would bring your own. Overall was a pretty good night but there are plenty of nearby venues I prefer (eg, Bull & Gate, Purple Turtle). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there actually a small stage or just on the floor in the corner. There are five of us also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stage area was smallish and I ended up with the drummer's hi hat just in front of my nose (joys). Still, the crowd were good and it was our first gig in that part of London for ages.

Clarky Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Its definitely a raised stage as I recall being distracted mid-song several times, looking over people's heads at the TV screens showing the footie! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone played there?? Edited July 9, 2009 by Linus27 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musky Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 (edited) I played there last year, a few weeks after Clarky by the sound of things. I thought the backline was fairly decent - Marshall/Trace. There was a Marshall stack there as well, though that was playing up apparently. I thought the venue had supplied the gear, but maybe it was the promoter. Not played at 93 Feet East but it must have about 600 capacity and has a nice decent sized stage. From a punters point of view it's a quality place.
