Sound Insulation & Sound Bleed As this space is adjacent to two other spaces, we do monitor sound levels and will require limitation to the volume of a show if necessary. We will always endeavour to find an amicable solution to sound issues from other venues as they arise. Gilded Balloon is surrounded by many other venues, which all run programming concurrently to our own. We work with all of the venues in and around Bristo Square to limit the amount of sound bleed from other venues. We encourage any production having issues with sound bleed to be in touch right away during your run, so that we may work to mitigate the issue.

Teviot Row House The Night Club Venue Technical Specification DRESSING ROOM There is a small dressing room in this venue.

STAFF The venue has one assigned technician who will oversee all technical rehearsals and turnarounds. It is up to the company to provide sufficient staff to help turnaround the venue into and out of the adjacent time slots. If any additional staff is required to assist with turnarounds this can be arranged at a cost of 5 per extra technician per performance. If your show requires our technician to operate lighting and/or sound or to stay for the duration of the performance for any other reason a show call charge will be levied. A reduced rate is charged when the show simply requires lights up/down (one cue to put light on stage and set microphone live then one cue to return to audience exit state). Companies are welcome to bring their own Technicians, but must ensure the person designated for the role is suitably technically competent to operate the venue equipment. We are happy to assist staff as much as required during the technical rehearsals, but should additional assistance be required once the run has begun, show call rates will be charged The show call rate is 0 per performance per technician plus VAT. The reduced lights up/down rate is 5.00 per performance per technician plus VAT. SECURITY Please remember that this is a festival situation. We work very hard to make sure that the venues are safe and free from molestation. Due to the multitude of people coming and going, it is almost impossible to recover any stolen items.
