The government books the Club Regent shows. Hence why it's always washed up 80s bands and the one hip hop show they've had was Nelly last year.

There's almost nothing you could do to improve the sound in the Burt without completely covering over almost all the historic elements and walls with sound deadening materials and fabrics. The theatre was designed to resonate natural sound, before amplification was invented.
