I think room acoustics can be odd, Flora. Although I'm not sure anyone else had problems there, one room I could find hard was one where we on a sort of stage - informal seating for the session but used for rock and other things on other days of the week. Perhaps it was my seating position but on a bad night, I could find I could hear conversation from the "floor" more clearly than instruments close to me. But one gets by...

The venue currently used by both of the city sessions I might get to is one I enjoy acoustically. The sessions actually opt to use different rooms but I think both are good. And I think the general atmosphere is well suited to sessions.
