Where can I find out about live music venues?

Posted by whenthiswasfields over 2 years ago
Last active over 2 years ago 7 responses

In my youth as an Indie kid in Glasgow, I had my finger on the pulse, knew which bands were up and coming and enjoyed watching unsigned bands in cramped little venues. Somehow, probably through inertia, this has disappeared from my life and I miss it. Where can I find out about new young live bands? What venues ...

I’ve got friends visiting from Cornwall this weekend, the girls are going off to do beauty things, talk shite and drink champagne which means I’m leaving my other half to entertain the boys. Does anyone know a good, laid back pub that has live music on a Saturday afternoon? Somewhere a bit overtly ...

I’m about to book a ticket for Tori Amos at the Apollo but the seating plan isn’t very specific. Does anyone know which is better – ‘orchestra stalls’ or ‘dress circle’? Are they both seated? ta x

Chris Letcher is playing in the Globe room of the Bedford in Balham on Bank holiday Monday and it ...

I have been inspired to tell the Knowledge there is a great bunch of people lurking out in London who are part of London’s underground country music scene. Now before you start thinking line dancing and achy breaky heart and all that horror, this scene is not about that shite. It’s more over alternati...

Where can I get the blues?

A brief “giving back to the community” post from me to say how much I love Aint Nothin But…The Blues Bar. Yes it was seriously crowded, and would be hellish in summer. But if you can get a seat like we did last night – within inches of the mic – it’s a top night out. And they serv...
