I was once at a Kaiser Chief secret gig there in about 2005 and the overspill went into the other room. Got quickly out of hand

And so you aim towards the sky,
And you'll rise high today,
Fly away, Far away,
Far from pain....

Was that definitely overspill, or was it not people trying to escape the godawful noise that was the Kaiser Chiefs?.... :?

God is nothing more than an imaginary friend for grown ups.

Re: Best/Worst Venues : Thu Mar 21, 2013 11:08 pm  
Best - Leopard, Doncaster & Adelphi, Hull. The Adelphi is probably the biggest poo hole I've seen gigs in, but it somehow has a great, old-fashioned ambience. Clitheroe Grand isn't bad either on a 'next size up' scale of things.

Worst - Anywhere that holds over five or six hundred.

I'd suggest an obvious neglect of H&S and gig capacity, in probably ten years of doing the Cockpit I've never felt uncomfortable.

When Cockpit over sells a gig it's horrible.


Never a venue I got on with tbh.. a few more in the area were doing pay to play schemes which I think is a total joke of an idea and terrible for music in general

My favourite is the Holmfirth Picturedrome at the moment. Also like Sheffield Corporation or anywhere with black walls and a sticky floor!
Least favourite is Sheffield Arena or NEC.

Best - Leopard, Doncaster


Was in there last weekend watching a local band the 48K's.

Seen many bands there over the years ranging from local bands, cover bands (such as Limehouse Lizzy) to bands like the Groundhogs.

I believe Funeral For A Friend are lined up to play there.
