Charlie Tuff
September 2024Was in the back of the Dress Circle for Maggie Rogers in September 24. Atmosphere was great. It's a relatively small venue (1600 or so for a standing gig). Getting there is simple with London Overground via the two Hackney stations & getting in was fine. Staff were good & beer pricing wasn't too bad for a London venue. Sound quality was very good, with a very good mix when I was there. Slight downmark if you're shorter at the back of the dress circle, as the seats aren't staggered & you might get stuck behind someone taller. Apart from that, can definitely recommend!
