With room for 200 standing, The Studio is a medium room by our directory's sizes. The typical Middlesbrough room we list holds about 150, so this one is on the larger side. Mid-size rooms usually want proof you can draw - a local headline show or a support slot on a touring bill is the common way in, and promoters run many of the nights.
