from living in bham and had a few experiences with the club i can say that.

1) as shifty says it holds more people, but it doesnt feel that way. it is very cramped and hot.

2) it is not really dingy, its trendy.

3) the soundsystem is JBL's flagship model ie) the one the show to potential buyers. A tweter box hangs over the middle of the dancefloor and it is rather ear splitting. the best sound system ive ever ehard. imo
