Though technically a five minute slot is allowed, in practice (and with only four performers on the list) each act was allowed 3-4 songs. The first time I'd visited this it was a very full house, very enthusiastic and very welcoming. The most recent visit seemed much more insular, the audience much more sedate and the list didn't get another player on it (other than us out-of-towners) till about 8pm. That being said - great room, decent house sounds (monitors aren't too functional) with full drumkit and percussion set and a huge stage.

This was a nice environment with very nice people. The café has a christian orientation, but seems very open to secular music within the bounds of respecting the venue.
