The bar from hell
I have found some footage of the cellar bar so you can see how small the venue is. Even though the footage is years old it hasnt changed that much from what I have seen online.
In the daytime its run as a cafe business upstairs only whilst performances used to start at 7.30/8.00 till 10.00/11.00 pm. Some nights did get crowded so if you wanted to watch the live performance on the tv upstairs or online you could for free.
Tickets for weekend performances usually costed £5 with a free meal which was usualy curry or chilli but didnt include any drinks. Musicians never got paid much even on a full audience night. The set was about 2 hours and the money was devided within the babd so each musician seperatly would be paid about £15.
Because of the no smoking ban you were only allowed to smoke outside the venue this would either be on the street or the back beer garden terrace, unfortunately when all the musicians and audience had gone home the staff used to smoke downstairs at the bar, a policeman arrived (dont ask me why) and didnt tell them off. When I told them off they said never to mention it to anyone. I was appauled and I imagine it still goes on. Below is a video tour of the cellar bar.
