Hi folks,
I am quite new here in this city and tried to figure out the szene here ... mainly met drunk midlife-crisis-tristies or youngsters. Music. hmmmm. Some real stuff, new music, not this mainstream disco radio mix. Good rock, good alternative pop?
I'm lost. Is there anyone outside my (new) office here, who would like to show me some Sheffield night-life, day-culture, walks out or good life-music locations? As young professional it is a bit hard to orientate between all those freshers here ....

Thanx for posts!

if you could be more specific about your interests it would help, sheffield has a fair amount to offer...
good luck fighting your way though the freshers! the next two weeks are gonna be hell. close your doors!!!

what's good music? I do not want to hear the mainstream radio hits, I do not want to listen to charts. There must be some places where real hand made music is played. I like a lot of things. Real drum'n'base - live! or what about a good reggae party? or some old school real rock music? or some newer things like deus, bjoerg-style, santana, everlast, ... you know what I mean? no boy groups, no music, where you have to be drunk to enjoy ...
