The new bar opened this week, brought to you by the people behind The Big Romance and Mother.
Named after the excellent Quando Quango song on released on Factory Records in 1983, Love Tempo neighbourhood bar opened on Thomas Street this week, on the site of The Clock bar.
Like the other spaces that the bar-owners operate in – The Big Romance, Fidelity and Lost Lane, the new space features a handmade soundsystem by Corkman Toby Hatchett, prioritising the music-lead approach:
“At the heart of the Love Tempo sound system is a visually and audibly impactful Twin-stack Dance floor Hifi, handmade by HatchettSound. Backed up by multiple Custom Celto Acoustique speakers for comprehensive and immersive coverage of the fully acoustically treated space. All powered by premium Linea Research Amplification. Expect HatchettSound’s signature audio clarity and deep clear Bass.
