I can't say I've ever set foot in this venue, but from an entertainment standpoint, they really need to step up their game. The gentleman responsible for booking entertainment clearly has no idea what he's doing and seems more than willing to cancel shows if they don't align with his vision.
Myself and two other bands were left high and dry, scrambling to find a replacement venue - even after informing higher management. Their excuse? "We didn't book enough security for your event, so it can't go ahead." This was a blatant lie.
We had already done all the legwork - booking a PA system, sound technician, lighting, creating poster art, and running online marketing campaigns. All the venue had to do was promote the event. Yet, because of a couple of minor lineup changes, they suddenly decided to cancel the show.
Thankfully, we found another venue in the Riverland that stepped up and saved the day. It turned out to be a fantastic night - packed with people and great energy. We're still confused as to why it had to come to this point in the first place.
Bands and entertainers - be warned before booking this venue!
