okay, some of you are probably aware that kef is going to be refurbished, it looks like the booths are gonna be removed and a couple of other things will happen.

out of interest, can you let us know what you liked about lava and why we should change it back to lava.

shall we re open the balcony?

did anyone like the seating along the back walls?

be honest, be open and tell us what you really think and why.

thank you.

Lava without the seating was a nightmare. The booths were good if you were playing or if it was a club night. Bring back the seating!!!

i liked the seating on the top floor, the booths might nopt have been bad if we were allowed to sit in them

[lava p.]

okay, did you go to any gigs when the building was lava? did you prefer it?

the seating along the wall?

Yeah I used to go to a lot of gigs at lava, not really that many at kef. I don't think kef is that much worse, when i went to the reuben gig recently i remembered how much i liked it as a venue, there just hasn't been as many bands i've wanted to see since it's chenged to kef. The seating area was good between sets to sit and have a drink, but too many peopel did stay up stairs and watch the bands from there. So I'd maybe like to bring back the seats but not be able to watch from upstairs.

I look forward to seeing dive dive at kef in a couple of weeks

I liked that seating I must admit - I think a lot of people I know stopped going in on odd nights for a couple of pints after the booths got in as it was pretty crap trying to enjoy a pint slumped on some cushions.

Why are the booths being removed?

I liked 'em.

the biggest problem in the lava days was that people sat upstairs instead of heading down to catch the bands which often left downstairs a bit empty because you could hear everything fine from upstairs. then the booths got put in which meant you could no longer do this, but the booths were, to be frank, a shite idea. they took up a lot of space and gave nothing for it.

any reason in particular for the refit?

i preferred the open balchony there was a lot more space then, maybe leave the ones at the top bit beside the door but def get rid of the other ones as spoonie said they take up space and really give nothing back. I do also agree that with the balchony people did stay upstairs sometimes but i dunno i felt the place had more of an atmosphere when it was like that.
