How Important Is Size ;-D

[Hermanthegerman]

Just had a look at the advert for the Baltic Soul Weekender over here in Germany on the main page, made me think what I´d prefer as a DJ / punter...

What would you prefer, a venue with 1000+ punters, on site accomodation and all the usual stuff or a small one with only 200 visitors but with the familiar feel to it?

Hi Mr Herman

the main room (German commercial/ elcrtric/ disco) also provids the main stage for the major acts with a large crowd, these SOUL acts go down a storm ! (German crowd aged 18 to 28 on average)

The 3 other rooms have a smaller intimate feel with 250 to 400 capacity-plus the acts like Anne Sexton appear in the smaller rooms with a blinding atomosphere.

Being involved with this weekender since its birth we have watched it grow and evolve into what it is today.

We personal only venture into the main hall for the acts and prefare to stick to the smaller rooms for the music. Like most major weekenders the main halls cater for the middle ground, alowing the other rooms financial security to opperate (especially where the live acts are concerned)

Have you tried this weekender yet ? If you are coming in April make yourself known to us we'd love t meet up with you and have a chat over a few of those excellent German Pils lagers !

Hope you can make it
