Restaurant, Function Venue, very posh indeed.

A cathedral-like space that stands in testimony to its former use as home to the presses that once produces the Bournemouth Evening Echo, the art deco grade II listed building that is the Print Room proved to be the venue for one of the most enjoyable functions FireBird have done to date. Sure, it’s work but it’s no bad thing to enjoy a gig (professionally of course) and the members and guests of the organisation holding the event were some of the liveliest and friendliest we’ve entertained.

Sound.
With a tiled floor, hard walls (one a huge window) and a very very high ceiling, as one would expect the ambience of the room surpasses the best Lexicon reverb unit (although it’s not as programmable). Volume levels were minimal to start with and still the sound crashed and echoed around this cavernous space. Things improved mightily when the audience, as one, left the tables and came to dance, where they stayed!
