The Deaf Institute is a cracking smaller venue. The lower floors are a pub that I really must try out some time, but the venue is at the top of the building.
There is very limited seating at the back of the room, and plenty of standing room in front. The quirky decoration adds to the character of the venue.
First saw Jarrod Dickenson supporting the Waterboys, and have seen him at this venue a couple of times since. Must like the place 🙂 Jarrod hails from Texas, and writes mostly miserable songs, but then again, most folkies do. He sometimes puts them to an almost cheery tune though.
