ok, so I have given up the hope that M&A's agent will let me put on one of their headline shows, so I am going to go to another, the problem being that the venue closest to me has terrible sound and an even worse soundman, so they will sound shit.

therefore, what is the sound like in:
Oxford The Regal
London Bardens Boudoir

they can't be as bad as the engine rooms surely...

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
