Any thoughts on the above?

According to many posts on this forum Sheffield has lost it, what can be done to make it better? Would it be a new club / bar?

Most people on here seem to be rather tired of the electro scene, what do you want to hear?

Your ideas could make a difference....

Needs more Nightclubs, bars, apartments and restaurants to get people in to the city centre and improve the nightlife and economy.
I was in the city centre last night and the place was absolutley dead! not a soul in sight. I wouldn't class Sheffield as a city - it is a large village bordering the peak district.

I think it needs a superclub, maybe even two so that the competition drives them more.

You're a promotions company do your job instead of asking us to do it for you.

There are plenty of existing clubs and bars that are not always full.

Why would building a 'superclub' change that?

Because it would rejuvanate the entire nightlife. People used to come and stop with me so they could go to Gatecrasher. While they were here, they'd find out about other events at other clubs and also visit bars before going to the clubs.

It would help if the people who wanted specific music playing turned up to the nights put on for them too.

That's my major problem with Sheffied's nightlife but there's nothing someone opening a bar/club can do about that.

There would be no point in promoting a new club / bar without market research. ;)

What about music?

Just check past threads, this has been done to death on here.

Here Here WYEXILE

some people just cant be bothered to find out for themselves,

I'm not asking anyone to do it for me. I'm asking for people's opinions.:huh:

in that case, trawl through the many other threads on this subject relating to going out, sheffield, clubs, etc
and you will find everything out you need to know

Hi Martin/e, stop being a mincer and keep to the point. I am conducting my own research/post where i can ask questions on my own terms rather than adding to someone elses.

Will you then go to companies and say that you've done extensive online market research and have the opinons of Sheffield people and try to promote a night based on this info?

Not a bad idea. I'll keep an eye on this thread and do the same myself.

Because it would rejuvanate the entire nightlife. People used to come and stop with me so they could go to Gatecrasher.

But the same problems existed for everyone else when Gatecrasher was around.

I'm not sure how a building that holds 1,500 people can change the nightlife in an entire city.....

Hi Buffy, hope all is well. I already have the backing of a venue, the only question is what. I will base the event on the research gathered from this forum.

Dance music (especially trance) appears to be in decline and so the age of the superclub is over.

Bassline, 4x4, RnB etc seems to draw a troublesome crowd.

There are more gay venues/nights appearing in Sheffield so im not sure on jumping on that wagon.

The only other ideas i have are for nu-jazz, funk etc which venues such as The Runaway girl etc already provide.

If it is the trend that people are getting bored of not just electro but house music in general, what should a club play (without attracting idiots)?

Sheffield caters for every musical taste you can imagine if you can be bothered to look. The problem with Sheffield is the crowds. They're crap.

We've had Derrick May, Paul Woolford, Green Velvet, Andy Weatherall, Ivan Smagghe, Jesse Rose, Dave Clarke, Spirit Catcher, Mike Monday CVS and many others but I've never really seen the crowd go off like you would expect.

who says everyone is bored of electro? maybe disco and a few others are.......but a couple of 1000 others who turn up every week at differing venues are certainly not bored of it.

:rolleyes:

The kids love it.

Hi Green, so would you say that electro is still what most dance music lovers want to hear?

What would you like to hear WYEXILE?

i would say electro is merely one genre amongst many that people go out to hear.

other than that, i wouldnt possibly give you much more info as i have my own venue :)

If that's what you choose you'll be going up against the mighty plug and DQ.

IMO Sheffield needs a good Techno/tech house night in a good venue with a good crowd. There's events around which tick one or two of these boxes but not all three.

Some weekends I'd rather just stay in with my CDJ's and bang out my own party.

Role on the Carling Academy at the Roxy. We may finally get to hear some decent bands in Sheffield on a larger scale. Pubs like the Dove and Rainbow, Grapes, Trippets (a few years ago) are always great when they've got bands/music on. Hopefully a few more of these will crop up. I don't think we need more cheesey clubs or fake 'up-market' bars.

I think that sheffield should have a nightclub where there is more than 1 arena/room playing different music. For e.g electro/house mixing in a bit of bassline 4x4 dnb and techno, RnB/chart in another room and perhaps Indie in a 3rd. I know Plug does this in the week but I think it would be great to have a club which is tastefuly decorated and attracts different crowds. I would like to go to a club where I can mix with lots of people who enjoy different music all under the same roof. I hate having to go to different clubs on different nights for a certain stle of music. Am I on my own??

Some proper up market bars would be good, or more accurately just nice bars, with good drinks, a welcoming atmosphere and a slightly more mature, less rowdy and 'pist' kindas crowd but at the same time a bit different to the city centre's excellent real ale pubs.

I wish I lived in America. All you hear on the radio over there is rock and modern country.

R&B is only played by a minority.

You'd be surprised by the number of people who like country music. Not the Dolly and Kenny variety, but the newer stuff like Rascal Flatts, Keith Urban and Tim McGraw. I sometimes incorporate a song or two into my set and people sit up and listen and usually ask who it is. It's a hidden market which appeals to a lot of people. They just don't know yet that they like this music as it hasnt been promoted in this country.

That won't really help you as it'll not draw a huge crowd but I thought I'd chuck it in the melting pot for the hell of it.

Although I am not a fan of country myself I know that one or two of my friends who are into rock also like some country rock orientated stuff as well, so you may be right about more people liking it than is thought in general.

Country won't draw a crowd, but it does have a fanbase, especially the more alt country and folk acts that cross over into indie.

I'm a big fan of that stuff.

I'd go. Anything that's not inane suits me. I wouldn't buy much of the stuff, personally, but I'd definitely listen to it.

There's a fella on here called Amsterdammed who put very good nights on at Under the Boardwalk.

Basically, it was three alt country/folk bands, it was free entry but still not too many went along. A shame because the standard of the bands was very good.

I think it needs a superclub, maybe even two so that the competition drives them more.

I dunno - superclubs were very much a mid 90s thing and most have shut down or moved into other areas (people have very short memories and forget GC had basically been a mainstream club for the last few years).

IMO Sheffield needs a good Techno/tech house night

Strangely enough there's never really been a succesful regular (non acid) techno night in sheffield (not in the last ten years anyway) - not sure why that should be?

who says everyone is bored of electro? maybe disco and a few others are.......but a couple of 1000 others who turn up every week at differing venues are certainly not bored of it.

:rolleyes:Indeed, I am bored of it but thats mainly because its everywhere and i'm tired of it. It gets incredibly tiresome to hear it everywhere week in week out and there are some genuinely awful records. However therein lies the beauty of Plug. once I get bored in the main room I can go listen to indie in the other room and then there the third room where anything goes.

So what we need is a venue with some variety from the DJ's, electro all night is incredibly boring, so is house, so is anything.

I'd like to see a venue where the DJ's have an eclectic taste and are allowed long sets to express themselves and really let the crowd get into the music.

I'd like to see resident DJ's who have talent and skill and be allowed to be proper residents. Any night is only as good as its residents and in sheffield resident DJ's I can respect are pretty generally missing (thats not to say I have no respect for any sheffield DJ's, I do. None of your business who though!)

Mainly though i want to see a night that has integrity and is devoted to the music instead of hype and marketing and a crowd to match.

I doubt i'll see it. In sheffield apathy is king. When Quality is available its ignored.

Presumeably also playing the sort of music that you like...

As there are quite few nights in Sheffield that match your decription of having integrity with a good solid upfor it & loyal crowd...

As there are quite few nights in Sheffield that match your decription of having integrity with a good solid upfor it & loyal crowd...Not necessarily. I'm not a trance monkey but have been to Off The Rails and enjoyed it immensely

I agree with some of what you're saying there Disco. However I can never tire of my fave music all night, if the DJs are good.

To be honest, one thing that impresses me in Sheffield is the dedication of the people running nights in Sheffield. I like that if a night loses it's 'home' it pops up elsewhere.

Luckily I feel my music tastes (D&B) are well-catered for with top DJs coming to Sheffield and also nights such as Feedback which showcase different, less mainstream sounds.

People such as Junglist Alliance have integrity and are great at warming the crowd up and getting people interested. Guess it all depends on what you're into. I like how the Tuesday Club often have a combo of breakbeat, drum and bass, dubstep or reggae all going on in the same night. Sometimes with one dj playing two different sets in two different rooms.

I think that sheffield should have a nightclub where there is more than 1 arena/room playing different music. For e.g electro/house mixing in a bit of bassline 4x4 dnb and techno, RnB/chart in another room and perhaps Indie in a 3rd.

I would like to go to a club where I can mix with lots of people who enjoy different music all under the same roof. I hate having to go to different clubs on different nights for a certain stle of music. Am I on my own??

This, a large club like gatecrasher that had different styles in each room (eg. dnb,dubstep,hiphop/trance,house/RnB,chart/breaks,electro) would be awesome. Maybe having some of Sheffield's more well known producers put in the different rooms.

A proper nightclub which puts on shows would be excellent for the city. A bit of jazz in a proper club full of people dressed formally would be just what the city needs.

personally i'd welcome a classics night - like Better Days was on Friday nights in Bed.
People always harp on about how clubbing/music just isn't the same. Perhaps there if there was something aimed at a slightly older market?

If that's what you choose you'll be going up against the mighty plug and DQ.

Come to the next Cargo buddy, i think you will be quite suprised and would think you could tick all 3 boxes.

Feb 16th is our 2nd Birthday party and without giving too much away, we have a resident from one of Leeds longest running house nights, BASICALLY hes quality and alonside him we have another guy from Leeds who fronts nights in leeds & Berlin.

Thinking of my social group, most people just got bored of clubs or never felt that comfortable with the club scene and would just like something that's a bit different in general, although some classier club nights with some real atmosphere would maybe bring us back too.

My OH thinks that what sheff is missing is a night for girls. A night of really uplifting, vocal, funky house. A night of songs, of tracks you can lose yourself in and sing along to. Dare we say Hed Kandi?

I have never hear such irrelevent drivel.

What sheffield needs right now is a high profile Brass Band concert, With famous soloists.

Wrong!!!!!
In America it depends where you are. In New York there are a variety of stations. The biggest is HOT 97, which mainly plays R&B, Hip Hop.
Chicago, plays mainly R&B, Hip Hop but there is also a heavy influence of House (club music) music as this is there spiritual music.

In LA I would say the same as New York.
Rock has always been represented on the airwaves but with the emergence of R&B / Hip Hop to the mainstream, all your major cities play this most...

Sheffield is missing a 2 to 3 room venue, that is around 500 - 700 capacity.
No more super clubs please.
A club owner with an open mind and NOT an ignorant mind.
There are plenty of good djs in Sheffield to rock this joint but are not given a chance to break loose.
First and foremostly there is too much chavs in the city centre so a lot of clubs need to forget there rivalries and get together in a meeting to sort this out, especially with the support of local authorities. (Vibe take heed)
I've said this time and time again that there is a market for everyone out there if clubs and late bars get there heads together.

dj41321 -- if you had a 2/3 room club with 500 -700 capacity, that would make each room approx 200 each. each room would need to be kitted to the max with the latest equip, and as a promoter you would have to put on 3 separate djs etc. Which club owner can afford to do that? which promoter can afford to do that?

You come on here constantly as the man who has all the answers, yet your maths never make any sense, and you always get a dig at the venue owners. Get yourself a venue, bust a friggin gut like we do (oh thats when we are not swimming in our indoor pools or driving our lamborgines) and then start telling us how to run our businesses.

I cant think of a venue who actually doesnt work with the local authorities. We'd be outta business if we didnt!

Which events do you actually run? Give us your beloved resume then......

As far as my resume goes, lets just say I am an active member IN the professional music business. The thread was if i am not mistaken WHAT DOES SHEFFIELD NIGHTCLUBS NEED TO BE BETTER / NOT WHO WANTS TO BE A CYBER WARRIOR AND SCORE POINTS. Your response was somewhat immature.
To answer your very poor questions. You do not need a state of the art sound system for a room that holds 200 people. Im sure a 5 - 10 k rig can manage that and thats not expensive. I have a 3 k rig and I have done private functions on countless occasions.
As you seem like a club owner as YOU use the term We, may I state that whilst people from Sheffield are religiously migrating to Leeds and Manchester weekend, You need to take your head out of your ass and start asking why and you will find out. I play in an club independant club that has 4 rooms playing different music and it is rammed 3 - 4 nights a week.
So before you decide to respond to me personal, have a think about what you have said instead of being bitter on why I think this way..:rant:
For the record, I have promoted some very big events in Sheffield from 1997 to 2004. I dont have to explain who I am. What do you do by the way....

Your posts quite clearly have a dig at venue owners. They often do. Its very obvious from all my previous posts who i am, and most people on here know me, bizarrely i have no idea who you are! The only person on here who is bitter, is well & truly yourself. If you dont think so, I suggest you start reading your posts more often.

People migrate both IN & OUT of Sheffield every weekend for clubbing. I would say our venue for a gig has over 35% of travellers and a weekend clubnight 15 - 25% of travellers.

When i make my quote dj4321 i have the facts....you unfortunately just get the digs in.

adios amigo

I think dj4321gsr may have picked the wrong person to argue with on running a club........

Green is spot on, it isn't just people from Sheffield who go elsewhere. At the last Headcharge we had people who had come from Nottingham, Leeds, London, and strangely enough someone who had flown over from America. They were but a few of the people I spoke to that night.

Let's be honest it's not as if there is some mass migration every Friday night. I go to Manchester now and again, and sometimes to London, Leeds, Chester and Bradford. There are some fantastic nights (Sequence, Room 237), but I've yet to see anything in those cities that we don't have here (or had in the recent past), there just seems to be more of it. And quantity doesn't necessarily mean quality...

Correct me if I am not mistaken but isnt this thread about What Sheffield Nightlife Needs. NOT HOW TO RUN A CLUB.
Headcharge has a massive following and has been running for over a decade and fair play to it, so it will have an out of town following. I was just making suggestions what clubbers also think.
If you want to be like Adelle and turn this into a one dimensional thread then so be it, but dont put down anyone that has merely stated some opinions that are factual. I have not dissed Plug in any way shape or form and YES Adelle you do put on good nights, however your club does have a large capacity. My only critisism on Plug is it slightly too BIG DJ led and the product suffers, but a club your size may have to be like that. If it smaller capacity then it would be open to a lot more things other than the usual music policies. Thats the point I was making. For the record where have I cursed any promoters or club owners. The only thing I have ever stated was there are a lot of people travelling out of town on weekends, which is true. Sheffield is not spoken of high volumes compared to Leeds and Manchester, which I think is a shame. I never come on this thread to pick an arguement, only to address why Sheffield is seeming to become dry. And to be honest there is a mass migration to Leeds and Manchester tonight. I know a party of 20 Sheffielders heading to Leeds tonight.

We could go backwards on forwards on this all night.... There may well be 20 people you know off to Leeds tonight, how do you know there aren't just as many from Leeds who are sat on a train to Sheffield right now?

Nights like Off The Rails, Urban Gorilla, Tuesday Club, Planet Zogg and events at Plug and Leadmill attract people from all over the country. Have a browse through some of the users on DSI, they come from all over the place!

I can see both sides of this... What Sheffield REALLY needs is to be diverse and try things, to go out more regularly, to not complain about ticket prices and to stay positive...

Realistically I think the Plug do a great job of staying as credible as possible for a venue that size, remember what happened to crasher towards the end? Bars can be very profitable but nightclubs/late venues are definitely not huge money makers guys...

On top of this the new Academy opens in April, DQ and nylon both have some brilliant medium sized events for pretty cheap prices and fez is apparently on a revival...

I personally think that the standard of the clubs is pretty good! I think the overall standard of bars leaves a bit to be desired but never really gets talked about...

Good post Matt, I will also state that Sheffield is desperately in need of a high profile fm radio station that can represent the cities cutting edge of Sheffield dj talent, through the diverse music genres.
We need this to educate a lot of people in Sheffield of music that is totally getting ignored by the northern media. As soon as you get to Luton my car radio is bombarded with pirate and legal radio stations playing great new music.
There is a lack of quality music nights with fit girls and believe it or not I think this is a contributing factor. A club full of 80% men could have the best music in the world but it would be pity boring atmospherically. Gotta have the hotties in abundance. House and R&B nights tend to not suffer from this but other music genres tend to be male dominated.

I have been trying for six months to get involved at Sheffield Live but they don't seem to be interested, which is disappointing :(

Now that is disappointing because 75% of there shows are amateur and badly programmed and scheduled.

What does Sheffield Nightlife need?

A New Gay-Friendly Showbar, along the lines of 'Funny Gals' in Barnsley, with LOCAL RESIDENT Drag Queens like myself and Penny Change (Who can be relied upon to turn up regularly) doing weekly/twice weekly shows, as well as other entertainments such as Poledancing, live PA, Magicians, etc...

Such a venue should be able to offer different nights out with something for everyone in the over-18 market...:love:

lmfao...your like jade goodie in male disguise!

Your sooo the man..........

Obviously you dont mind a club full of boring train spotters but I much prefer the company of females in a vibrant club.
By the way Greenie, I'm ultra fit and athletic, very far from fat, definately not racist, better looking. the list goes on.
Quick question do you think Sheffield needs an alternative venue, or do you think you cater for everyone.:huh:
This aint no dig cos I like Plug when some djs are on. Could do with a professional opinion from a club owner.

I would go for some lively music (dj's who like what they play) and a sound system that didnt come from Maplins.

Says the forum DJ whore ;)Touche!:hihi:

I miss gatecrasher so much because of its class and style. Embrace tried to be the "new" crasher but failed to as the music is far too comercial - I might as well go in with my ipod - Its over rated and needs a few decent DJ's.
I like funky house, trance, dance, electro, techno etc and only DQ really offers this but the decore of DQ doesn't feel like a club more like a bar.

Tried plug?

Yes loads of times Thursdays is when my sixth form go down its good but the music isnt really my thing i just go as a social thing the neutral room is far too hot and claustrophobic but i like the music in there

The best DJ's we usually have in Sheffield are LJ Freeman and Marc Wagstaff

Go to plug on a saturday night or even a friday and you'll find its much better. I'm sure Lee will be pleased to know he has female fans!

On a seperate note my mate went to a night called Electro Sexual at Nylon last weekend and said it was excellent. Really decent electro

i'm a big fan of nylon at the minute, putting on some really good nights...

hmmm i'm a little wary of the nylon vibe crowd i've not been though so i suppose i shouldnt be prejudice

hmmm i'm a little wary of the nylon vibe crowd i've not been though so i suppose i shouldnt be prejudiceNylon and Vibe are very much seperate. Even though they are pretty much next door the difference between them is a million miles!

vibe is a seperate crowd, nylons not like that at all mate.. they have some really good house nights and mod for it is a real good indie vibe too... everyone knows i like dq like :) but both dq and nylon have the 'late bar/club' feel... i prefer that to superclub anonymity though...

Personally i think for a place to be successful you have to think about your audience....... Who mainly goes down town at weekends and during the week. Students and young adults ranging from 18 - 25 and even older. So you have in mind that alot of the audience are young......what do they like to do? Get drunk and binge drink and listen to music LOUD.

This sounds like its leading to.........YES A NIGHTCLUB!! So what do people also like? Value for money..... that means embrace is definately outta the question because its pricey on the drinks. Also leadmill is a no no because unless you have a student card you cant get in cheap.....and there tight on the drinks i was amazed when i got a vodka and orange from the bar.

Im going on my experiences abroad and i havent found anywhere that has compared to BCM in magaluff. They give you aload of free crap when you go in like tshirts, hats, flashing pendants and glowsticks. Once your inside your drinks are free at the bar.....unless you wanna buy bottled stuff like Magners or Smirnoff Ice (Named things like that). Then they hold a different event each night Water Parties......Popcorn Parties.......Foam Parties. and if you dont fancy a party like that then you can stay upstairs in the main club where its not taking place.

All in all i think england needs to start looking abroad for ideas.

Then they hold a different event each night Water Parties......Popcorn Parties.......Foam Parties. and if you dont fancy a party like that then you can stay upstairs in the main club where its not taking place.

All in all i think england needs to start looking abroad for ideas.

TomWhich is fine because it works in magluf. Imagine going to a foam or water party in embrace and then coming out and getting hypothermia waiting for a taxi, if indeed you could get a taxi

What does Sheffield Nightlife need?

A New Gay-Friendly Showbar, along the lines of 'Funny Gals' in Barnsley, with LOCAL RESIDENT Drag Queens like myself and Penny Change (Who can be relied upon to turn up regularly) doing weekly/twice weekly shows, as well as other entertainments such as Poledancing, live PA, Magicians, etc...

Such a venue should be able to offer different nights out with something for everyone in the over-18 market...:love:



Really, has anyone heard Tyranna sing ??

im not being funny as i know Tyranna but if you want to clear a venue in 20 seconds flat then go for her.
the last time i saw Tyranna out was on her birthday, nice skirt, top, good make-up BUT................. the pit boots did nothing for the image.
