(ii) the venue
 
The venue was directly opposite a church which is where we stopped the van, I grabbed the merch box and went in and starting setting up whilst the others introduced themselves to the promoter as Tony moved the van to the parking around the back of the venue.

The place was nice, spread over two floors, it was pretty big, a decent sized bar area upstairs and nice looking dancefloor and stage downstairs, just a shame the place wasnt packed out with more people, well not much happened inbetween sets, I took a peek at the crowd when Porcelain Roach were on and it was a very young audience made up mainly of boys out to mosh.

Well it was time for Miocene to go on soon, I made my way downstairs with my camera and held onto the railing upfront, Dave & Bob stood next to me but the music in the background made it hard to hear what they were saying, again I must have given off the impression that I was rude.

Just before they were due to come on I noticed that the equiment onstage belonged to Porcelain Roach, I learnt there was no backstage and to switch all the gear would involve them loading up in the rain whilst we unloaded in the rain outside, so wisely and kindly they let Miocene use their equipment.
