It&#8217;s a real shame though because Coal&#8217;s music really is lovely.<\/p>\n<p>Venue-wise I was glad to see the dark corner of doom on the side of the stage had been &#8216;cordoned off&#8217; by piles of musical equipment and that the band area was restricted to the space between the pillars. I still found the lighting quite bad and the sound iffy, but was glad to see there were guys collecting the bottles and glasses this time round.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style
