Behind The Wall holds about 120 standing, which makes it a small room by the sizes we use across the directory. That is smaller than the typical room we list around Glasgow (about 230). A room under 150 is built for a local crowd - expect a shorter set and a door split or a small flat fee, and plan to fill it with your own following.
