Yeah,its previous incarnation was cat

I love playing there, the sound guys are bang on, over all sound is deadly but as a punter the pint is rubbish. Hate Guinness in a plastic cup and that double booking shit. Do hope it all ends up alright tho

It's a great venue to play, great people working there.

The only thing I hate is the mad rush to get your gear off the stage so some shite DJ can start the second after you play your last note

Same here. I haven't been in the place since it was crap, didn't realise it had got good

i was in for the road gig last year. it was great then. is it the same great that everyone is talking about?

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

Its a bit crap when its full though. I left the killing joke gig after 4 or 5 songs because i just couldnt find a comfortable spot

This may be very well the issue with the button factory

was that not in Andrews Lane? Or are we talking about a different gig?

Button Factory is great since it was done up. The bouncers were a bit attitudey at the start but they mellowed out and the place got all-round deadly. I dont think I've been to a bad gig there.

The pick of the bunch would be the last time Vic Chesnutt played. That was an all-round exceptional show.

Sin É is closing down apparently. Not that it's a live venue buh.

Yes. the old one was the big black box with the tiny stairs and door at the back of the live room leading to the bar.

Actually, they did gigs there so I'm mildly sadface.

Sin E was always uncomfortably jammed any time I've been in it. How do these places not do well?

 

[mark]

could be thats it's being sold off to cover owners other debts.

Re: Sin É ; Liquidating the holding company sounds a bit dodge to be fair. Trade creditors and potentially employee owed wages are written off. I doubt if there are much fixed assets in there to flog.

Button factory sounds like a situation more worthy of sympathy.

Hope it works out all round though.
