DON'T BE AN ARSE Our gigs are often highly eclectic, so there might be a wide variety of punters in our little venue. We want everyone to have a good time, so relax, express yourself and have a good gig, but be thoughtful of other people and don't ruin their night with your fun. Basically, just be considerate and nice, and everyone will be happy.
Naturally, anyone who is actively aggressive, or who abuses anyone else on the grounds of gender, sexuality, ethnicity, Monster Munch flavour preference, or whatever the hell else might make a bigot irrationally angry, is out the door.
WE'LL DO OUR BEST TOO In return, we'll make every effort to create a warm and pleasant environment, and we'll try our hardest to keep to the timetable (music starts at approximately 20.20, and will go on till about 22.35). Also, we've kept the door price as low as we can, but rest assured that GTI is a non-profit event, and all the money after expenses goes to the performers.
ACCESSIBILITY NOTE Our venue is a smallish, relatively simple room, but it is at ground level, and so should be accessible to most people (although there is no accessible toilet). We will also have some chairs available if standing for the duration might be a challenge. We are also able to admit under-18s, though anyone under 14 must be accompanied by an adult.
There is no dedicated parking at the venue.

Gappy Tooth Industries is an Oxford promoter that has been putting on deliberately genre-mixed bills since May 2002. A typical night is three acts, usually two from Oxfordshire plus one visiting from further afield, and they try never to book the same act twice at a regular monthly show. It runs monthly, usually on the last Friday, and it moves around small Oxford rooms rather than sitting at one venue: the Wheatsheaf, Common Ground and the Jericho Tavern have all hosted it. The gigs are run non-profit, with the takings split between the performers once costs are covered, which is how the tickets stay cheap.
