Anyone played in MB Slattery's Rathmines?

Bitsie

Hey have gig coming up here in July and just wondered if anyone could tell me what the place is like. I hear it is fairly small. Do they supply mics and stands and PA? just general feedback about the place would be good...
cheers lads and lassies....

dammit,

I just wrote a big paragraph on MB Slattery's CAPEL ST for you
You do have to supply your own pa in Rathmines. It's very small, long and awkwardly shaped and I wouldn't recommend much other than acoustic stuff but I think they have decent sized gigs there the odd time. For a full band, there are better venues in Dublin...

anyone else know about the PA system as getting conflicting reports??

Yeah sound is not great at all in Slattery's. There is a PA there but it's ****e.

We're playing there this wednesday, so we're going to try and have the best sound we can out of it... Hope for the best! The last time we played there I got really pissed off, couldn't hear my voice, my guitar or my bass player for that matter.
I think it really is up to your drummer (you in this case Bitsie!).
If he / she plays too loud, you'll have to turn up the amps and the mic, and it will feedback like mad. The other option is for the singer to scream his/her head off in the mic so ya don't have to turn it too loud

The set up of the place is quite awkward too.
If you charge at the door, you'll more than likely need 2 people cos there are 2 doors to get people in.

Still it's a free venue to play in so ya can't really go wrong.

Best of luck with it anyway. Have fun!!
