No crowdsurfing!! We don't like being the fun police but after certain light-fitting related incidents we need to keep the pub (and you all) safe.

Please also look out for your fellow punters and remove any spiked/studded jackets before moshing.

Looking forward to seeing you all at upcoming gigs!
