Review of GZA & The Phunky Nomads - SOLD OUT

The sound was awful. Couldn't really tell how good the music actually was. Rip off for how unprofessional the show was because of the poor sound.

Fabulous gig

Review of GZA & The Phunky Nomads - SOLD OUT

Dissapointed in this show, GZA looked disorganized and no energy. Pity as the support acts were great. Also dissapointing that the promoter/venue put on an extra show on the same night!? WTF, feels like squeezing every last dime out of Wu fans at the expense of quality.

Review of GZA & The Phunky Nomads - SOLD OUT

The sound wasn't very great for the main event, too much bass and drum sounds and microphone kept getting cut out, even the act questioned the sound engineer.

Review of GZA & The Phunky Nomads - SOLD OUT

Sound quality was awful. I walked out halfway through. Playing Liquid Swords in full and I could hardly tell which song they were playing.

Sadly through no fault of the band the poor sound quality in this venue ruined what should have been a great night of music. The blues kitchen really need to review what happened as the sound quality from the front to the back of the venue was terrible. We left early as we couldn't even hear the vocals and the music wasn't even mixed, it just sounded so muddy that you couldn't distinguish one instrument from another. GZA even called out the venue midway through to sort out the sound issues by saying "what am I supposed to do, stand up here and tell jokes?". Invest in better equipment and a better skilled sound engineer before hosting any more live music.

Venue was far too hot and there were no staff controlling how crammed it was. Had to stand at the back where there was lots of space. Crowd control would have been much appreciated. I have been to a few different gigs and events at blues kitchen Manchester and this happens each time.
