Great Hall

Overview:

From DJ Matt R:

Managed by Georgia from Christos, so much of what applies there, applies here. Large cavernous room. Speakers work best on the floor.  Uplighting requires extra cables and lots of gaff tape. Load In: Do not have load in information as of 1/9/2016. Call ahead to ask. Challenges: This is a large room. Keep the speakers low to the ground and don't be afraid to put them down onto the floor. A good soundcheck both before guests arrive and while guests are there is absolutely essential. Special Considerations: Georgia is the venue manager here and she is very particular about having things done her way. You will have to follow her lead and be very polite. Don't try to tell her what to do because she will not be happy. She will like you if you do what she says and are conscientious. A venue call beforehand will go a long way as well as it shows you are preparing yourself.

Here's a video from Matt regarding a customer's perspective.

Extra Venue Call Questions:

Where do I load in?

Is there a cart I can use?

Be polite during the call! Georgia can be tough/strict, but if you're polite she'll love you.
