Clubs (Dance Music) and Music Bars

  • Posted - June 2006. As the town stands so far. Oxygen has 3 rooms, one dance, top floor, one disco, and one r'n'b, it also has a small bar with no music (but small!) The disco room is always crammed, like some one else said not sure why they don't swap this with the r'n'b room! The dance room upstairs plays the same music as Enigma did, same dj! And the r'n'b room plays the same as Mission did. Not sure on the DJ in that room. Thats in Midland Road, plenty of food shops in this street for when everyone piles out. Also taxis everywhere too. Attracts a younger crowd! I think its £10 after 11pm to get in. Expensive but drink prices are average for a club. Mission and Enigma have closed down and I believe Nexus2 might have now. As used to always be very quiet but never seems to be open these days. New York New York is a disco club. Has the colourful disco floor and plays all the good cheesey music. I think its £3 b4 11pm and then £4-5 after, depending on the night. Mainly an older age range of people, this can be a good thing! Not seen a fight there. And on Thursdays its student night (if they still hold it) so plenty of younger students then and prices for drinks £1.50, (if they still do that too.)Has a large outside area. The Pad in Lime Street is another club, its basically the size of a house, as it used to be one. A 2 up 2 down house. all knocked through to make one bar and dance floor downstaris toilets up. I think £5 to get in after 11pm. Alternative music. Indie, rock, d'n'b and they hold several specialist nights, and usually get in big name djs. www.myspace.com/thepadbedford There is Esquires near the bus station, plays alternative music too, attracts younger members of the public, also playing alternative music. They have live bands too here. The Angel is on the Broadway in Bedford this has several live band nights and has specialist music nights too. The is Timeout on the High Street used to be Luxe next to Lloyds TSB, now a pub more than club, turns into a club not sure if you have to pay after a certain time. Has 2 floors, can get busy, has a small outside area. Mission was trying to be sold, but no one bought it. So it is said to be re-vamping and re-opening and when and for how long, no one knows. This used to have one main dance floor, and vip upstairs, stupid vip area! Myabe they will have changed this, such a large place could have made it 2 rooms, if they split the place in half as the roof is high. Toilets needed a good fixing so hopefully they will have sorted that too- it began to smell, not pleasant! The pubs, on the High Street, there is Venom, this is farther down the high street than the others, next to Wilkinsons, it has a bed in it, never seems busy in there, some killer shots, but they are pricey. Then the Square and Circuit Bar (if thats still there, the Circuit Bar) the Square has loud music, no dancefloor, open til late I think 2pm, and has 2-4-1 if they still do it. R'n'b music. But loud and attracts younger people. The Rose, attracts the students, small inside they have a dancefloor at the back now. DJ is untouchable or should I say you cannot request as he is upstairs where you cannot get to. A variety of music open til 2am I think. The outside area is large though and always busy in the summer. Heated in winter but it is England! Litten Tree next door, one of the biggest pubs, the most expensive too, attracts a variety of people. The music is a bit of pop and cheese and they do do requests they have karaoke on Sundays I think, if its still on. Been revamped, which means new sofas. Toilets are hot hot hot. Upstairs and few for size of place. They also do this text thing, can't explain, take too long. Gets busy on weekends. The Hobgoblin across the road is a pub with dancefloor, music they play is grungy indie stuff, good atmosphere. Prices are average. The Bedford Lounge, is next to Litten Tree, used to be Yates, music is chart music r'n'b. prices are average, small dancefloor. (well when i say small I mean smaller than Litten Tree, same with all the pubs, as I think litten Trees is the largest dancefloor for a pub in bedford) The the Cross Keys, never that busy, small. Music is the same as the others pop. Walking further up the high street. Bankers Draft this is a JD Weatherspoons, Nice and cheap no music always busy and outside area with heaters, just re-opened after re-vamp. Not been in since opened. The other JD Weatherspoon is near Oxygen in Midland Road, Pilgrims Progress. There is the Bear opposite which attracts younger people, never been in myself, but I think it doesn't play pop music. There is the 3rd floor, which might now have changed its name. Always advertising over 28 nights. Not been there either sorry. The Barley Mow is the renowned gay pub and tehre is a gay club now but forgotten the name sorry.
  • Oxygen - went first time 2 weeks ago (feb-first weekend) and it was pretty cool. The RnB room is rubbish though, the 70s room should swap places as that room was SOOO packed! I liked the dance room except they make you que for ages to go up there! Good drink prices, the 'one way' system is a bit shoddy! But good times! tHE litten tree was really good though
  • Oxygen is by far the best club it has 3 dance floors, but there does seem to be loads of "fresh faced" people towards the end of the nite. litten tree is usually good to start the nite with and timeout opposite is also really gud. the pad is brilliant 4 alternative music people.
  • the rose - good music, nice outdoor bit too (heated but better in summer) the square - has no real dancefloor but the music is loud! time out (were lux used to be - next to loydds tsb) nexus 2 (it's in the same place but re-vamped) nice venue but not always busy enough. the litten tree has recently been redecorated too. venom - not a great atmosphere apparently, but ive not been there myself
  • New York New York, very new, loud boogeying music, shiny floor, and there's still a wheelchair ramp left over from when it was Chicago's!!
  • Oxygen! The new club around bedford has got to be the hottest spot in the town. Just get to Oxygen if you want a good time!
  • Mission.
  • mission.......how has no1 mentioned mission.......oh yea its shite but the only good place in bedford go to liten tree frist tho nexes sucks arse big time
  • mission is gettin better but slowly and watch it if your outside on a tuesday wen they happen to be havin an under-18's it aint pretty there all dressed up like slags, rather like the Dame alice girls hangin round outside all the clubs tryin to get in.
  • New clubs in Bedford now! Enigma closed ages ago! Now its either Mission or Nexus (used to be plaza) Only really good for townies but student nights are always good! Always cheap and can get in wearing jeans and trainers! no dress code! New place called 'The Pad' by far tye coolest place to go. The guy who owns planet runs it i think? Real alternative place to go. Has shit loads of famous hip hop djs come and visit. Very very cool!
  • in bedford now, there is mission which is pretty goood only been open since nov 2002, and a new club called Nexus just opened sept 2003, which has showers in it, its amazing.
  • where have they all gone only mission and chicagos tell my friends that other places do exist
  • Esquires (upsatirs you can get in if you're 16+ on Fri and Sat nights) and downstairs are the least up-themselves clubs in Bedford. Pad is good for a change, and the recently new managers are up for getting decent guest djs which has to be a good thing (one of the blokes from Massive Attack was there not too long ago). Enigma and Mission are a bit more mainstreamy, and thank our lucky stars the Plaza (dirty raza) closed down!!!
  • plaza now shut. Mission now open in Mill Street where the old chapel was. A fucking nice club, but expensive. Limehaus is now The Pad but is the same as it always has been.
  • urm, too young to go clubbing as yet, although I will experience it in February when I turn 18!!! Yeyyyy!!! However, a few of my mates who will remain un-named, have used fake ID's to get in. They reckon that Anigma is cool, and the HobGoblin is apparently ok. Will let u know if Feb what I personally think......
  • aight bedford is da place 2 b if u wana go on pub crawl ya got mission,bear,yates,litten tree,rose,bull nose n da list goes on. But honestli guys jus stik to drinkin outa pubs til ur at leest 17 n ya voice as broken coz dees bouncers dnt take jak from no one!
  • bedford is so shit and boring nowadays, plaza has shut, engima is always empty and chicagos is shit on a monday now as well. everyone is goin 2 the mission nowdays,but is the only place 2 go any night u wanna go out on.
  • Well this has to be the rebirth of 'winkles' (limehause (a bit german sounding for my liking) as you may know it...? ) AS the Pad ???!!! well should be good, full of dance type crowd hopefully... and not loaf-heads... Denis might make an appearence hopefully... good shag!!!
  • mission is new (2002) its got bangin music, however the floors quite small. the decors really nice, but the the drinks are slightly pricy! its definitely worth a look, but get there early!!! (b 4 11)
  • The Bear is fun, if you want to be a fly on the wall: you can probably encounter most of bedfords red eyed youth there, this twinned with the nutters and yardy stylees makes the pub great for some first class hedonism!
  • Club Cabana if your into drum n bass, dub reggae, or lots of other stuff.
  • Hi, I'm Adelle and I want to take Bedfordshire clubbing! I'm running coaches up to CODE, in Birmingham, for Godskitchen and Babooshka. I will also be running coaches to various other clubs, such as, Passion, Storm, Sundissential, etc. If you're interested, or for more details, please get in touch, either via e-mail (NurseFluffy@aol.com), or phone 0788 413 0610. Come on, let's av a mad 'un!
  • the only clubs worth going to with any decent amount of tallent in are enigma and the mission unfortunatly both have dress codes for males ???. i have heard that soon there will be a small russian theme bar/club with its own beach and palm trees ??? its sopossed to do exotic nights with pole dancing and stuff mmmm haff to keep a lookout for that one.
  • Mission night club is great its over 20s fri/sat nights so dont worry about under 18s getting in the music is great but prices are very high £3 a bottle and £4;50 after 10:30 on the door
  • ESQUIRES!!! really good tunes from hip hop to DnB (Suburban beats upstairs rocks) to grunge and indie. downstairs is 18+ and pretty strict. but upstairs is 16+ so its cool for the younger ones. Limehaus is cool on a thursday. Indie, trip hop and DnB aswell as dancey classics.
  • Been too enigma, naw bad but to steaming to pay attention. Met two Scottish lads who were drinking pints of vodka, good for a laugh. Only one of them(tall one) was sick. Well Done. Chicagos good on monday were again i seen the same two steaming scots throwing bins over each other, and rolling down the street in them. Alcoholics, i think.
  • Despite what everyone says, Esquires is a pretty good venue, and have some really good bands on, there is a variety of punk, nu metal, etc and is good for a laugh. Downstairs esquires is good on a friday night! never been to Plaza so have no idea what its like, enigmas good on trance nights, but drinks are expensive!!!
  • If you are remarkebly fresh-faced (such as myself) most of the clubs near the center are no prob to get into. Chicagos is full of over-40 fag hags, Chaplins sucks arse, the Plaza needs putting down, Limehaus is small and fun. But don't try and blag enigma without some good quality ID.
  • Loads of 'remarkably youthful' people from the Harpur trust schools turn up in all clubs, but as an ex Bedford High School 6th former, we rat on them usually so they get kicked out. Enigma II is the best, with cheesy music to bop to if your just drunk and want fun. if your into hardcore stuff try one of the smaller places.
  • ENIGMA is the best club in the district. Dave Bergin and Daz Nrman play cracking House and Trance and uk garage, respectively, every saturday. It is a top club night and for £6 entrance fee you can't go wrong. They have student night every Thurs and are also open on Fri.
  • ESQUIRES! Used to be good but now it`s PANTS!!! The DJ has lost intrest in alternative music and just plays Dance and old over played 90s Grunge. Full of childish adults who think they own the place. DANNYS BAR (Bar downstairs b4 Esquires is open) A COOL little bar, POOL table and DARTS board and Some good bands play too. OK but the same people that go in the club, All the good people have either got married, Had kids or Moved away. THE THIRST CLUB (upstairs Esquires) is too expensive with no oringinal Bands and they won`t put the fresh air fans on so you buy more drinks!
  • Enigma is DIRE. I mean I used to think Ritzy's and the Plaza were bad enough, but the dance floor's about the size of a stamp, the drinks too expensive and the clientelle is generally around 15 or under. Stick to Chicago's for a cheap but cheesy night out in adult company.
  • To be fair... Plaza is Ok, but is going downhill (in need of a refurb), Enigma is the biggest club in Bedfordshire (1,800) & is quality), Esquires is exellent for underground stuuf (big names like Ocean Colour Scene to Grooverider have been there). Limehouse-fun & small, Amigos & Chaplins (no comment.) nuff said
  • CHICARGOS
  • Esquires is going downnnnnn hill. I like the Limehaus, very easy to be chatted up and yes it is full of 30somethings. Enigma, Plaza and Amigos/Chaplins - can they get any shitter. Ok i'll admit Enigma is good. Yes and still full of Under age little sluts (boyfriends 15yr old sister), private school girls, as i am! Bedford High School rules!
  • To see allyour ex-skating mates or the ones you use to pick on at school- check out Cromptons (pub on high street)
  • Riviera shut ages ago, does anyone ever read these pages? Limehaus is the new name for Wilkies I think, it's got a reputation for violence but according to the flyers I've seen has a variety of music. Plaza is the town's top pulling joint and is best if you stick in group of mates, girlies
  • The Enigma at Aspects is ok for your Garage and House, plush inside and you get some big names sometimes. Wouldn't recomend the Plaza, cheesy and occasionally quite dodgy. The Limehaus is fantastic on a Thursday. The tea Party plays a mixture of alternative dance,'Indie',DnB,and classics from the '60's and '70's. Fridays and Saturdays at the Limehaus are usually filled with thirty something divorcees and is to be avoided. Esquires is the Creme de la creme for your club nights such as Casino, Explosion and Suburban Beats.
  • Jumping Jellybean is no more. It's now the Sports Bar and is crap. The busy bars in that area are now "The Bullnosed Bat" and the new Yates Wine Lodge, bot heaving at weekends, mostly with weirdos and saddos. Amigos on the High Street is a bit of a dive but its cheap and the musics not bad. Chaplains, just next door is also cheap but the music is fairly bad. The Limehouse, which used to be Winkles is similarly divey and cheap with OK music.
  • Enigma, in Aspects Leisure Centre is a huge club, by far the best in Bedford. It's quite expensive (£2.50 per pint!), but offers about six rooms of booze, music and dancefloors. Even if you are underage (as I am), a assure you it isn't hard to get in if you have a GOOD fake I.D.
  • Jumping Jellybean has closed. Riviera Lights has closed. Winkles is now called the Limehaus (still the smallest club in the world tho). Everybody wishes the Plaza would close, but it stubbornly remains open. (The Plaza regulars definitely present a case for INVOLUNTARY EUTHANASIA.) Anybody who thinks that clubs in Bedford are any good should probably get out more.
  • Riviera Lights is becoming a very respectable club, holding various nights such as God's Kitchen and Lick It, with some very big names popping in on occasion (Brandon Block + Co).
  • Esquires is the most happening club in Bedford, they have different nights for different tastes, e.g. Heavy Metal nights, Acid Jazz nights, Karaoke nights(!), Mod nights (Blow up), Indie nights, etc. Esquires has two floors, and they have bands upstairs... I have seen Ocean Colour Scene, Menswear, Supergrass, and The Bluetones there for £3 for each night, and these are just the ones I've been to lately. There is always something on...
  • A new club has opened in Bedford called Enigma. It is the old Venue club near the Marina done up and re-opened. It's too far from the town centre really, but what can you do?
  • Jumping Jellybean is only a Pub. Still very cool place to be though!
  • Loads of theme clubs/pubs "Chaplins", The Jumpin Jellybean, (Riviera Lights on St Peters Street) etc. on the High street (But if you really want to go clubbing, the Galleria in Hatfield and the Sanctuary in Milton Keynes draw 'em in from Bedford. However Esquires On Greyfriars doubles as the decent club/music venue, they get the Blow-up club from Camden regularly now plus some decent indie bands (the Wedding Present, Menswear etc.).
  • Jumping Jellybean is the best club in Bedford, followed by the Plaza then Riviera Lights. Winkles is the runt of the litter.

Live Music Venues

  • Live bands play in quite a few pubs in town on various nights and also in Esquires.
  • Esquires. Huh. If you're lucky, the Selecter are heaving their aged bones over the broken-down old stage upstairs, trying to make themselves heard over the woefully inadequate, badly maintained sound system. Or maybe the Bulgarian Shed Seven are in town. This is still better than the local bands.
  • check out esquires, the pad and the angle. they have started doign soem really good local and big bands. razorlight he other week, bloc party playing too, bez from mondays and loads of good newies.
  • Esquires, The Angel, The Bedford Athletic Rugby Club.
  • esquires is brilliant for bands and people over 16 can get in so u can hang out with ur younger mates there. angel is really pretty and stylish great for bands.
  • The Angel on tavistock street has re-opened. really nice venue, and you've gotta love the guitars on the wall!
  • Esquires used to be a great place to check out both established and upcoming live music. It had a somewhat bad period over the past few years where good bands and acts seemed to dry up, for what reason i'm not sure. However there has been a resurgence in the quality of acts now being attracted to play esquires with names that have become quite big since their recent esquires shenanigans(Bloc Party to name one) and bands already with quite a name (The upcoming Fightstar gig for example). All in all a great night out that I have been enjoying for quite a while, with a brief pause in the middle! I've also heard that The Angel has opened up again, details unknown. Previous Fat Wreck Chords proteges "The Fight" have advertised a gig there on their website. Never been myself.
  • Gordon Bennett, how old are some of these entries? The Angel got knocked down in about 1997, didn't it? Mind you, Oasis played their first headline gig there, so I suppose it deserves a mention...
  • esquires
  • lizzeds or lizards.........they keep changin the name nver been but heard gd things about it.......bit didgy tho
  • New place called Lizard Lounge? Supposed to be good!
  • ESQUIRES is the BEST alternative music venue i have visited... everyone is there for the laugh and party...ticket prices are very good value but drinks can be a little expencive, the best night to visit would have to be saturday
  • Esquires gets some pretty good bands and lots of smaller local ones play there too. Also there are always interesting people hanging around in the park outside. they tend to be 'alternative' and really nice
  • Again, Esquires upstairs - watch out for it cause they can get some pretty good bands who are on their way up there. But for anything more substantial you're gonna have to head to Northampton (Roadmenders) Cambridge (Junctino/corn exchange) or London. Bedford did do a pretty good version of a scaled down one-day festival - lazy sunday, but last time i heard it had been scrapped. the river festival is usually quite rubbish, unless you got nothing better to do...
  • Angel is now flats.
  • Greb music played down esquires. Oasis played there once n Nirvana wer gonna.
  • The usual... Esquires; The Mission (new); chicago's; ...; The Rose is looking to try something new (?)...(under new management!)
  • Esquires digs the alternative vibe, if you can, try to see Sick on the Bus in action there, punky band with a lot to say. not bad at all.
  • the best music venue is esquires in the rown centre . you can buy tickets for any gigs from planet clothing. my friend fred plays there.
  • Esquires (Greyfriars) for live rock/indie bands, nearly every weekend.
  • probably the best pub with sounds had to be the angel. a hardcore venue that hosted some big names in its day, shame its gone. esquires is all thats left and thats turned to pants with to much trendy music.
  • upstairs esquires. i've seen the freestylers, king adora and LTJ Buekem and MC Conrad. Plus the bands tend to wander round abit after!
  • Esquires, good for gigs.
  • The Angel - past acts include Oasis, Ocean Colour Scene, but sometimes they get decent bands too.
  • Esquires is the best place in town for underground music (indie & dance). Suburban Beats brought some of the biggest names in. Fabio, Freestylers, Grooverider, Breakbeat Era, & many more). This Night is fukkin wicked when its on. used to be a monthly thing, but now only so often
  • Esquires, good for gigs etc. thats about it!
  • To hear live music in Bedford it is recommended you should saunter down to Esquires on a Saturday night. Many a big name has passed through those doors and is student friendly. Check local press or trip into Planet Clothing and ask whats on. Check out the Hobgoblin Pub on the Hight St as they usually have live music aswell.
  • The Angel's 'Out on the Floor' nights are quite good, especially if you like wide open spaces to dance in. No, the club isn't very big, but it's usually very empty. It's a feat of financial management that the place even stays open. Esquires still has bands that play, but you'll only ever see bands who are 'likely to go somewhere' rather than those who have 'made it'. Oasis, Supergrass, Ocean Colour Scene have all played, but before anybody knew them. Haven't returned, and I don't blame them, either. Haven't been to the Hard Rock Cafe, but I here it's the only club in Bedford not full of under age drinkers. Whereas the Plaza has been known to allow actual Embryos in.
  • Esquires

Cinemas

  • The Cinema in Bedofrd at the Aspects park well. It has changed hands so many times, I think they should close it down and start again. There is a much better one in Milton Keynes which is a 20min drive. Its new in the Snowdome and the same price. The seating is teered so you are not having the stretch your neck unlike in Bedford.
  • Aspects Leisure Park - cinema has changed hands more times than I care to remember. A criminally crummy hotdog containing 25% meat (vole meat) will cost you about 4 quid and the astronomically-priced, watered-down Coke is served in a half-full bucket-sized cup filled mainly with ice. They know shit-all about films and once advertised the new film from 'Kevin Brannagh'.
  • The one in Aspects. It changes hands so much, god knows what it is. Hideously average. Don't meet up with your girlfriend there, some chav will ruin your fun!
  • milton keynes. snow dome is the best, way better that aspects which is getting run down now only cinema and pizza hut there. if u wanna hav a gud nite then travel to mk and spend all nite there theres lots to do.
  • ugc where all the chavs hang out racig lowered saxos
  • The cinema isn't bad inside. Your feet will get stuck to the floor and you'll queue for a decade if a big film is out. Expensive beverages and unfortunately only films people might have heard of are played. Some might say rubbish...
  • UGC, only one in bedford.
  • aspects..............meh its ok for a night out wit ya mates bit to many rudies tho
  • Cinema at Aspects is now UGC, though still crap as ever - Aspects in general is a dump. Probably recommended to visit the various cinemas Milton Keynes has to offer, or if your tastes are further broadened, there is a good arts cinema 30 miles down the road in Cambridge.
  • the cinema at aspects is crap the onli time i go there is wen im not intrested in the film just who im watchin it with, soooo much better to get the bus to mk.
  • Full of students who work there an a handful of skaters.Idea to make friends with them cos they can get you into a film for free. They get 4 free tickets every night! Or get to go to staff previews!
  • Bedford cinema mings. End of. Make friends with someone who has a car and go to the phat one under the sno-slope in Milton Keynes. In the Aspects leisure centre where the Bedford Cinema lives ther is also a lazer quest thing, and a bowling alley, along with Enigma nightclub and a few restaurants. But they're all hanging so run like hell!!
  • Urm, the one in Aspex is ok, however, I tend to go to the new big one in Milton Keynes to be honest, cheep night is Tuesday I think, and its got loads more screens and its got more comfy chairs!
  • Got mega bowl,Mc donalds,cinema and night club in same bit. Its aight bedford.
  • Small and pokey but it provides the local care in the community patients a job.
  • the nacho cheese at bedford cinema is always cold and globby if you go to the first showing. gross.
  • just the usual really
  • Pure Tiny, Pure dear and pure far from the car park on a cold night.
  • why the hell does anyone go anywhere near the UCG. all the rude boys hang out up there and pick fights with anyone they see because they cant get into ENIGMA.
  • My brother got mugged outside the laser quasar arcade thing opposite the cinema. He was only about 12 and it was 3pm in the afternoon. What is wrong with people ?
  • The multiplex thing changes owners every few months and has the worst selection of Hollywood dross you could hope to find.
  • Virgin is now UCG & is too expensive & shit. Aspects is full of losers that hang around. Enigmas here though & you can usually distingwish between the losers & the quewers!
  • small, outdated,overpriced,let's cater for kids only,maybe 1 in 10 good films shown(if lucky!!!)
  • There is a Virgin Cinema, which does student discounts on weekdays. It has some really good films on there, but they only ever seem to be shown for a tiny amount of time, so hurry if you want to see that blockbuster!!
  • For your mainstream entertainment needs, Aspects Leisure is the place to go as the cinema,Zap Zone,Mucluskys Bar,Mega Bowl,Enigma night club,blah blah blah. The Cinema is large but nothing impressive.Good when you 'aint got nothing else to do.
  • I've heard that the manager of the local Virgin cinema is a fanatical baptist. (The cinema he's joined is rather aptly named, then). That's why you're more likely to see the Flintstones than any 'unChristian' films, ie, Crash, Man bites Dog, etc. Crash is crap, by the way.

What is Knowhere?

The Knowhere Guide started out as a list of places to skateboard in the UK. It is a compilation of (unedited) information and views supplied by users like yourself. It is not a conventional tourist guide!

In most cases, the information in each section has been submitted by more than one contributor (the credits at the bottom of the page list some, but not all, of the contributors) and some of it dates back to the 1970s.

We make no claims as to the accuracy of the information in the Guide - our only purpose is to provide a forum for users to share their knowledge and opinions. So please keep a large bag of salt handy and be prepared to read between the lines!

If you disagree with a comment, or information is out of date, please submit an update! The contributors come from all walks of life, and their opinions are bound to be subjective, so if your view isn't represented, please speak up and contribute to the balance of the Guide. See below in the 'Have Your Say' section for how to add your voice.

If we have helped you out or made you laugh you can buy us a pint.


Have Your Say...

The Knowhere Guide depends entirely on real users for information. Please feel free to join in.

You can tell us more about Bedford. This is also the method to use if you want to correct some of the information already here. (But please remember you're not mailing the person who actually wrote whatever-it-is.)
