Hello, all. First time I've ever posted here.

For many years I worked away from home in London during the week. Now I find myself at home twiddling the old thumbs wondering what to do with myself on week nights. Does any one know of decent pubs which have live music on during the week? I mean grown up music like country, folk or blues (i.e. not 'scally' rock of the Polar Chimpanzes variety).

Any advice appreciated.

I live in the Broomhill area.

Thanks.

Hi welcome to the forum.

If you like folk or blues you probably will like some of the bands that play at The Boardwalk they have a variety of different kinds of music on both during the week and weekends.

Sorry would have put on link but it wouldnt work I am sure someone else will oblige or you can look it up for yourself on the net.

Hope thats of help

I mean grown up music like country, folk or blues (i.e. not 'scally' rock of the Polar Chimpanzes variety).

The pubs in and around Neepsend (Hillsborough Hotel, Gardeners Rest, The Riverside, etc) have a variety of blues, folk and other music on quite a bit. You can also try ItchySheffield (http://www.itchysheffield.co.uk/) and Gigwise (http://www.gigwise.com/SearchResults.asp?SearchType=1&Genre=1&City=8) for other possibilities.
