KASH Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 How is it? Sound? the venue in general? We're a London band so we don't think many people from London will come down to see us when they can do it closer to home. Does it pulls a good crowd of locals?

Stage about 3 feet high, reasonably wide. Ash played there a few days ago on their A-Z tour, so even a few years on it can't be that bad!

Clarky Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 My band played there last year. Good stage and vibe but the audience was very thin on the ground. That of course could have been due to a punk night not being to the locals taste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassbloke Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 The Peel is a good venue and they treat bands nicely, but if you 1) want to get paid 2) want to get asked back you need to put in the hours promoting yourselves and trying to get people down. It's not that hard to get to - it's a 10 min walk from Norbiton BR and there are buses from Wimbledon, Sutton, etc... that go past or stop very near the venue. It's not in the nicest part of town, but few venues are. Parking is easy too - just find a side street. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've really got to play well in that venue because the lure of someone playing with their 45's in the next bar is very distracting.

The sound and soundman were good but there wasn't much room to stash our kit while other bands played and punters were thin on the ground. We had trouble shifting our batch of tickets under their sell-these-to-play rules -- but that may be because we have no fans Cheers Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
