Texture

Texture is potentially well set up for gigs as it doesn’t have any obstructing columns etc in the way, except all this is irrelevant when the band play at ground level so if you’re more than a couple of rows back you can’t see anything. Get a raised stage, guys. Lighting was good, probably the best I’ve seen in the NQ. Sound was mixed, one band I saw was massively too loud with the keyboard in particular horribly distorted. Others were fine. The actual equipment seems pretty decent.
Meanwhile, at the bar there seemed to be a fair selection, slightly better than your average dedicated to gigs bar.
