Blood Youth, Stray from the Path and of course Beartooth were incredible. The venue was awesome, and the setup was well coordinated. The gain during '68 was far too strong, and wasn't too enjoyable. The bar service was top, along with the staff. i'd give the gig a solid 4.2/5

literally amazing, my favourite kind of gig - heavy band, small intimate venue, no barrier, loads of stage diving, crowd surfing and just carnage!!!!

Worth getting soaked for. Great atmosphere - loved it!

Lovely concert and venue. 2 of my favourite live acts. Just a pity there were so many people in the bar area talking loudly. Will definitely be coming back.
