What's the Edinburgh Corn exchange like....

...as a venue? trying to see a band locally, all sold out, nearest is Edinburgh, but it looks a bit "multi functional". The Newcastle Arena near us is a pain in the arse with bad acoustics and you can only see the performers from the waist up if you are standing (don't watch Riverdance there). I swore I wouldn't waste money again unless a band was playing somewhere "proper". So what's it like then?

Not brilliant. Big rectangular room, acoustics a bit st. Depends how much you want to see said bad really.
Having said that, I was at the front for the Happy Mondays. Other mates have been for Prodigy and Faithless and had an awesome time.

fk it, go.

From the few pics on their site it looks a bit pants, like a big wedding venue (with the stage the top table). Only tickets left at local (good) venue are resellers at 100% markup.....might just bite the bullet! Cheers for the reply.

who is it? It's not a bad venue, saw Placebo there a few years ago and they were fantastic, but visibility was very poor, sound was much better than other nights of the tour though.

Saw Florence there last year, and had no complaints
