oh well....punk's still goin.

I run a rock night at the White Bear in Ecclesfield on Fridays and at the Moorfoot Tavern on Saturday nights. It's mostly classic rock that I play and I do requests, so cover most spectrums of the rock scence. The beer is cheap in the Moorfoot Tavern too!:thumbsup:

Hey what happened to CHA-CHA's on saturday night? Been away from Sheff for a few weeks and everything seems to have changed yet again.......


The Nelson is great and works really well but a tad small: The Sportsman is going quickly downhill FAST since it changed landlords, the Dove and Rainbow is fine but not really a rock venue as such as it is more alternative and punk based

Yes there is, I've been doing a rock night at the Moorfoot for the last few weeks on Saturdays and it's building up all the time. Great atmosphere. Cheap corp tickets. Cheap beer. Cha Chas didn't like the bikers coming in so knocked it on the head. Also supposedly refitting out the bar to attract the trendies instead.

I've been trying to get another venue but the costs in town are laughable. One bar was available but when I told them what I had planned for it they quickly told me that this was not appropriate and cut off communication with me! Poor old rock music. It gets such a hard time. Still I'm still there, filling up other people's boozers for them. Rumour has it that the Casbah want me to DJ for them soon for a couple of nights a week. Will update my thread on my whereabouts as and when there are further changes.

if you could guarantee to play some nine inch nails ill come down to one of your rock nights esp the one in ecclesfield:)

Tell me about it!!! Must check out the Moorfoot Tav.....its been a good few years since I sunk a pint in there!!! Not too far from the Nelson either. Tell me Buffy do they have any real ale on down there, as Cha'cha's at least did some superb brain destroying real cider!!!!

They've got some cask but it's not local brewery real ale. Bring a crowd with you, will ya?

You know whats its like getting classic rock people to go out these days? Its a real struggle.....babysitters.....too old and knackered....cant be bothered....watching Big brother videos......saving myself for a week on Friday...no money as its not payday for another 6 years, etc

ARGHHHHHHHHH.

Totally out of touch with the bottom of the Moor......its an area almost forgotten about by half the population.....which means no annoying trendies I guess which is a GOOD thing!

May well have to check out the Moorfoot, yes Sheffield is in dire need of more rock pubs/clubs

I may have to re-activate my old dream of establishing a new rock-bar/club in Sheffield.....its just finding the time to do it because it would swallow so much of it.....the market is crying out for more rock/alt pubs/club-nights.....yes, time to put some feelers out again......renewed vigour and all that.:heyhey: :heyhey:

The Moorfoot is definitely closer than The White Bear or Horse and Jockey so I may amble down one evening. The main problem I find nowadays is so many of the rockers my age are now married with two kids and a civilised social life [bottle of wine with tennis club pals] so they wont frequent rock venues. I suspect it makes them feel old and past it but I still enjoy a rock environment as long as it's not impossibly loud, that's not an age thing it's just my personal preference and always has been. So although I know the Moorfoot is a fairly large pub how would people describe the noise level?

I control the noise level at the Moorfoot on Saturdays. It's loud as rock ought to be, but not unbearable. You can still talk and be heard.

As for age. As a thirty something myself, I've noticed on the Buffy Roadshow that most of the crowd tend to be thirty something plus. Worry not :cool:

I will be there myself. As for the noise levels, if it approaches MOTORHEAD at Sheffield City Hall around 1981 it will be EXCELLANT (and boy that was LOUD!!!!)

Talking of rock nights, is the Monday night event still on at THE BEDROOM, does anyone know?

First night out at the Moorfoot last Saturday with my mate little Jackie and I must admit I was well impressed. Great music/DJ, Plenty of cheap beer on the flow and the location was spot on..:thumbsup:
A lot better then Cha Cha’s which I thought was way too big and badly positioned.
Needless to say I’ll be there again next weekend, rockin’ my ass off, bye bye Nelson’s

You think its BETTER than the Nelson then? I always love the INTIMATE atmos in the Nelson.......have not checked out TAVERN yet but will be there on Saturday night for sure........

In view of the positive posts I'll have a wander down to the Tavern one Saturday soon. I'm a bit of a stick in the mud when it comes to my saturday nights as there aren't many places I feel comfortable when I'm glammed up.

All rite RockStars Punkers Metalheads goths and all you other Sleze Rockers out there i need a place to rock Tuesday night
any sugestions

Tuesday? Dont think anything happens anywhere on a Tuesday.....it should do, but it...er doesn't.......

My old local used to have Testament in the jukebox :cool:

hey its SATURDAY!!!!! How about a HUGE crowd heading for the Moorfoot Tav tonight then? Just feel like a MEGA ROCK night out......lets do it!!!

I should be there tonight with my mate, if I can find it... I'm sure its one of the pubs down near the horrible big red building that I used to work in...

of course I'm part of the younger metal heads society at 20, but I love my chunky riffs and screaming solo's as much as the next (wo)man... back in Sheffield for the weekend so got to go out with my mate for a few drinks and then probably off to Corp and catch some more classics in there and maybe a bit of hardcore/noisecore upstairs if I'm in the mood... thats providing they aint changed the music to pop punk in the last month I've been away :?

Will see you all down there......should be KICKING right?

I'll do my best! :thumbsup:

ROCK N ROLL RULES SUPREME!!!!! No arguement!!!!!

You can take your naff speed garage and all that non rock stuff and SHOVE IT. GIVE ME ROCK!!!!!

MOORFOOT TAV rock night: Cool venue, much better and more 'rock like' than CHA CHAS. No real ale but a good atmosphere and love the proper old trad style pub interior, none of this horrible open plan wine bar crap.

Will be back......top tunes Buffy!!!!

What I love about you is you always play a great unpredictable set including some relatively 'not heard this for years' stuff.

nice one Buffy :D good way to start my saturday evening... much better than trying to find the bar/pub thats least sardine like...

will definitly be back in next time i'm back in sheffield :D

Sounds good ! Must give it a try soon. I was a bit reluctant to believe that a rock night would be good there (til i read the last couple of comments), as I catch my bus home from the stop opposite quite regularly, and it looks like a heck of a scarey pub !

Not scary at all inside, I assure you. There were a couple of chavs stood outside when we went in last night, you know, basehall caps on sideways, inane backward grimace and stupid tracksuits uttering "ug" noises, but inside, plenty of leather and denim makes you feel right at home!!!

Will def give it a try then. Prob before the Corp next time I go. There are some unsavoury characters around there during the day, but maybe the denim and leather scared them off eh ? ;) heheh

I've never had a problem with chavs while I've been DJing there, I think the music does put them off. The regulars all love the rock and even end up dancing to it (especially around the pool table)! The place rocks!

Buffy yr doing a grand job :) peeps are all welcome in the sporty on sat and in the tap and barrel sunday nights where they will find Shez doing her rock gigs too! keep the rock chicks supported

Rock/metal nights in Sheffield are generally bad in my humble opinion.

They tend to be either cheesy and cliched, or full of children and playing really cringeworthy American rawk (Blink 182, Nickelback <insert countless other names> etc) like at Corporation.

I did have a few good sessions at CRB and Grapes though...

Keep the rock chicks supported :clap:

:clap: :thumbsup: :D THANK GOD they're still some people with good taste in GOOD music about esp classic rock. and thanks buffy for your replies and a big thank you for keeping it going!!!!!!!. YOUR'RE THE BEST!!!!!. And i'm sure there are alot of folks about that'll agree wi me.

CLASSIC ROCK RULES........but we need a MUCH bigger scene here.....

In the USA they really know how to run the classic rock scene in a BIG way.....virtually every major town has a classic rock radio station, bar and rock club.......spent a lot of time out there some years ago and never ran out of rock bars or clubs.........

here....SIGH.......not so lucky......cheesey wine bars and CRAP bland pubs with no soul.....

Bufty - can we get Cheryl to shift some tables about to fit all these people in the pub on Saturday? I miss the dancing. Swaying gently is all well and good but I want to stagger in time to the music and - What about the massed ranks of the Classic Rock Bar Choir? Where will they all fit in?

I'm sure that you'll find a space somewhere! Dance in front of my DJ stand, give me a laugh!

From next week Splodge is DJing upstairs in the Casbah on Tuesday nights and I'm DJing downstairs on Friday nights. Non stop rock....I like it!

have only been in Sheffiel 6 months ater moving form liverpool where we have a venue called the krazy house (slipnot, korn & ramnstein played there many years ag when it was known as Sloanes) they have 3 floors 1 for metal & rock. 1 for light rock & 1 for punk stuff.

have been to corporation n frankly thought it was a bit kak (i went on a saturday but have been told that fridays were better but the last time i went on a friday it wasnt good) where would ppl recommend for a decent nite with rock/metal music?

Help i can't stand trendy bars!!!:

:o i didn't think i'd get this much of response from staring a conversation about rock music. :thumbsup: . cheers to all who replied.

Regrettably there is so little choice in Sheffield for rock music (AT THE MOMENT), you are not alone in wanting a decent place to go...currently Manchester and Leeds kick the pants off of Sheffields rock night life.....once you try those you wont want to look back.....

Or try venturing over to HULL or down to LINCOLN,also superb rock night life at the weekends.......Sheffield rock night scene sucks at present...

Hopefully after November some decent rock bars/clubs will spring up...(without a doubt) ...anything that opens even to 12.30 is a BIG improvement on what we now have....

Unfortunately this town is far TOO obsessed with trendy dance clubs and bars.......more so than any other city I have noticed (in proportion to the number of alternative and rock bars/clubs/nights anyway....what we need is more risque entrepreneurial spirit here, which Sheffield is somewhat lacking at the moment.

PS close () brackets.... (brackets close brackets)

I meant to quote!! with my prev question!!

does any 1 know where i can get hold of a copy of the Tyketto album "don't come easy" as i want to put Forever Young on my wedding compilation for febuary - or if i can borrow it please. i can't have my wedding reception without playing my fav song!!!:help:

The Main problem I have is that Sheffield (with the Dove And Rainbow asides) only seems to really cater for "classic" rock. You have the little hardcore room in Corp with the youth club and that is it. It seems the Nelson, Corp, Sportsman etc etc only want to play older rock with the odd SoTD and Greenday song thrown in.

Classic rock may as well be called cheesy rock. It seems to be the equivilent to the Leadmill on Saturday night is to Indie music
:gag:

others cities have more progresive rock venues. I used to love going to Spiders in Hull. :)

Downstairs on Sat night with (fanfare here)....the one, the ONLY original Rebels DJ still playing the tunes.....DJ LEZ or course!!!!! Now that DJ Ken (Wapentake/Under the Boardwalk fame) is no longer DJing at the Sportsman, the Nelson has Sheffields longest running rock DJ......totally recommend anyone who has not been to get wise and put in an appearance. All that great rock music from years ago and NOT the same old songs in the same order every week I am glad to say.

Its good upstairs too...more up to date but loud and proud..2 rooms of rock and fantastic cheap real cider which I cant remember the name of......is it pheasant plucker or something or am I confused????

PS Can I have a FREE pint please for plugging your wonderful rock bar

(Unlike other rock DJ's at certain other venues who play the same tired old mainstream songs in the same order every week, whom I COULD mention, but wont......)

So it's not at the Moorfoot (or Casbah from this Fri night) and it's not the Nelson.....trying to think which place you're on about?

I have it on good authority that the Sportsman is still having rock gigs on Thursday Night and Saturday Afternoon by DJ SHEZ who's been the DJ for two years longer than Ken and also performs at the Tap and Barrell, rock nights on the Sunday night, Ken was only there for 10 months, Shez has been there for 2 years and is still rocking strong.

Corporation classic rock room playlist is pretty samey each saturday IMHO. E.g. - When they play Def Leppard, its almost always *Let's Get Rocked* ! The leps have 10 million better songs than that ! I still love the classic rock room though ;)

Hey, I'm going to be a sheff uni student (arriving on saturday :) ) I was just wondering where the best metal nights out are? From what I have read here there is the moorfoot, nelson and the corp. Are all these in sheff center, do they play heavier stuff like death/black metal (although I like classic rock too), are they they only places in sheff to get a good rock/metal night out. I would really appriciate any replies becuase I really havn't been to sheff much at all.
Cheers :)

Only place you'll get the heavier stuff is when corp opens at 9.30pm on a saturday. They usually play this for about first 30-45 minutes and then hit Slayer and its usually music the majority have heard of like Pantera, Machine Head, Soulfly...the list goes on!

Unless anyone knows anything else???

Generally though i enjoy corp, though a lot of people slag the place off :confused: check out www.corporation.org.uk for full details of the nights.

Check out the thread on here about corp meet on the 17/9 (saturday) if you want to meet anyone.

Keep rocking :headbang:

I'll put the heavy stuff on down at the Moorfoot if you come and ask me for it. :)

Heard you play Pantera before but Slayer, Arch Enemy etc?

If anyone needs any info on the Shez gigs, then ask her, she has now got an account on Sheffield Forum that I set up for her yesterday.

She also has an e-mail address and if anyone wants it, PM me and I shall give it to you.

Yep....come and see me!

All the new students arrive this Saturday and will probably be hitting town so it will be interesting to see how many new faces are seeking out the rock bars.....hopefully a few hundred extra rockers on the circuit will find the places to go to.....or maybe a few thousand even......

I pop down. Not been since you left Cha Chas. Anyone got a shotgun?

I've heard alot of mixed opinions about the corp but I'll give it a whirl with the other places probably :cool: . Can't make the meet tho unfortunatly have made other plans for saturday.

Nelson on Tuesdays is The Control Frequency. They usually aim more for industrial, but I know the DJs like their stuff loud and black as it comes.

Website is www.amodelofcontrol.com. It's a weekly thing :)

hi mr chris. if u like proper metel then the top floor of the corp will suit u. it plays slayer and all that sort of music.:headbang: :thumbsup: :nod:.

I presume they meant longest running DJ in terms of how long he's been playing - Ken used to DJ at the Wap when I started going in 1985 - and even then he'd been there for ever!

DJ Ken was certainly dj'ing in the Wap as far back as 1980, and from what I remember him telling me, he was there a few years before that as well, possibly as far back as 1977/8....pretty impressive DJ career really, virtually non stop since the 70's.....must be a record there somewhere. I can still hear this voice to this day when I remember Saturday nights in the Wap circa 1980's, "time at the bar now, if you're going to Rebels, dont get too drunk" ( sure he used to DJ 6 nights a week in the Wapentake???)

And on another note, my HEAD HURTS!!! Over did the Pheasant Plucker cider last night in the Nelson.....oooh, far too many.....

Wouldn't say the rock scene's bad in Sheffield, reckon there's something to do rock-wise every day of the week just about. Anyway, we've got a whole new load of nights starting at the Casbah, and we'll be having a new floor put in upstairs in a couple of weeks... any old complaints can please be put aside as a whole new managment/promotions team has been moving in and we're gonna bring you a real good rock bar/club!

New nights @ Casbah from 26th September, 8-2:

Monday's: 'JagerJam'- Open jam night where we get some real good funky rocking musicians in from 8 and follow them with some rock DJ-ing... free entry

Tuesday's: 'Mullet Rock'- Classic Rock from 8 til 2 with DJ Splodge from the old CRB... free entry

Wednesday's: 'Rocker's Ball'- Sheffield's biggest new student rock night, 2 floors of punk/indie/emo/metal/rocknroll and any other tunes to make you rock til you drop... free NUS/£1 entry

Thursday's: 'Stranger Than Fiction'- Live bands followed by Ian The Dee-Jay's rocknroll disco! Free NUS/£1 entry

Friday's: Mark spins a danceworthy singalong selection of indie, rocknroll, punk and some well known but cool pop tunes thrown in, while downstairs Buffy spins the finest in Classic Rock! £3 10-11, £4after 11

Saturday's: Mark spins similar stuff upstairs and Ryder spins a cool selection of rocking beasts in the club! £3 10-11, £4 after 11

All midweek we've got £1.90 Carling Pints, £1.50 Grolsch bottles (or 4 for £5), £1.50 Vodka/Mixer, £1 Jagermeister (except Thursday), plus on Wednesday's it's 90p sgl or £1.50 dbl Vodka/Mixer, £1.60 pints Carling/Strongbow/Snakebite and £1.30 Grolsch (or 4 for £5)...

So come on, it aint all that bad! Don't think Shef needs more rock nights, just plenty of people turning up to the nights that are going at the moment!

EXCELLANT news there from the Casbah...who's up for checking out some new nights then? I'll be there.....

Mullet Rock on Tuesdays, and Friday downstairs sound tempting to me....

Really looking forward to these new nights, the launch of Rocker's Ball on Wednesday 28th should be ace!

:suspect: :confused: :roll: :sad: :huh: sorry. but compared to how sheffield used to be for rock nights - its terrible now. there used to be the wap,rebels,roxy's (on a monday night),mailcoach,hallamshire hotel,hornblower,yorkishiremans arms,frog & parrot and the drop and they were cheap for entrance and drinks. no offence to anyone,but what have we got now????. rebels used to be open 6 nights a week and was fantastic. the corp :gag:is rubbish - its far 2 expensive and plays terrible music,the casbah is the same. we need more clubs that are cheap and decent, and more pubs. well,thats my rant over with. does anone agree or disagree with me.:

The only problem that I have with the rock scene here, is that nothing is open on Sunday ??? Or am I wrong ?.....

Hang on, I've started DJing at the Casbah, Splodge_CRB does Tues nights. If the music isn't to your taste, do you wanna tell me why? What do you want to hear, I'll play your requests.

I also DJ down at the Moorfoot Tavern on Saturdays and do requests there.

What would you really like to see from the rock pubs and clubs. Stating 'cheap and decent' is a bit vague.

Pauline - Shez does a rock night at the Tap and Barrel on Sundays, she's only just got it going so could do with some support :thumbsup:

Buffy

What's not cheap about 90p vodka/mixer's and £1.50 pints?!

Well, everything always seems better in the old days doesn't it? But with the Casbah starting all its new rock nights and new rock bars like the Nelson, plus of course the various other pub rock nights springing up like Moorfoot Tav, etc, its beginning to liven up a bit. But things will never be the same of course... its just not possible...

If anyone out there is into the more stoner end of rock (kyuss, queens, isis etc...) we at ninehertz.co.uk have a great gig this saturday 1st Oct at DnR Live (fka under the boardwalk):

Dirty Blood - Fantastic female fronted Sheffield rock 'n' roll band - like a cross between Lynyrd Skynyrd and Queens of the Stone Age.

Outburst - Big stoner rock grooves from Leicester, in an Orange Goblin or Alabama Thunderpussy vein, with a hint of Anthrax style metal.

Mothertrucker - Instrumental Black Sabbath riff worship from Birmingham, with post-rock passages reminiscent of Mogwai.

Grifter - Rough stoner rock from Plymouth that brings to mind the likes of Scissorfight or Clutch.

it's a mere £4 & doors at at 7.30pm.

for more stoner/doom/whatever related stuff, including a review of the Dirty Blood demo, checkout ninehertz.co.uk

Just been trawling through this thread again. So, weve got evenings sussed now ... what about if we want a lunch time or afternoon session?

Anywhere in the city centre where I can drink with a friend and listen to decent rock music of an afternoon?

the only decent place of an afternoon in sheffield @ the moment is the sportsman on cambridge street that has a juke box.

The DOVE AND RAINBOW has a jukebox which has a reasonable amount of rock on, althouygh its more an 'alternative' venue....never been there in the day though....

isn't there a dj on in the Nelson on Saturday afternoons now. Never been myself as one of my mates is a Dove regualr and refuses to go in!

I *think* there is jozapheen from on here and kate karnage from 2 to 5pm. Then that guy is on in the evening...is he called rude dog or something. He's very bling!

Ive been in the Dove and the Sportsman in the daytime and not really enjoyed it. Any other ideas for lunchtime?

There's definitely a gap in the market, because if I go in somewhere of an afternoon and the music is decent, I will stay all afternoon and get bladdered. The last pub I did this in was in Brighton about 2 years ago, went for a quick lunchtime drink, and a surprisingly young barman put on The Doors, then Led Zepplin, and well I couldnt really leave could I?

Yes there is I remember seeing a poster for it in the pub...but not been in either so cant offer any comments

I have just received a phone call from Shez saying that the landlady of the tap & barrel has rung her and that the Sunday rock night is CANCELLED as of today !

Shez got this call 10 minutes before she was due to leave her house to go to the pub.

So, for anyone thats going there tonight expecting a rock disco - dont, cos it aint happening :evil:

We now need to find somewhere else on a Sunday for our much needed fix of decent music.

I read this full thread:o

I am not from Sheffield but have lived here for nearly three years one of the draws was the rock music. I love it. The Nelson is cool, I never realized on the way there I was passing another place to rock (Moorfoot Tavern).
I will check it out, closest rock bar to me was classic rock until it closed down, that was sad I always got absolutely ****faced in there.
Are there any other rock nightclubs in Sheffield apart from Corporation?

Think the nearest one would be the Casbah (old wap)

Since the demise of the old CRB, whos owner just wanted to make a fast buck, the rock scene in Sheffield has gone to hell in a handbasket !

As you already know from this thread, there a a few pubs which do rock nights but we NEED another venue along the lines of CRB.

In fact, it has been suggested to me today that Shez, Buffy & myself join forces and get the stonehouse !

If I remember correctly, another forum member was also looking for a pub to turn into a rock bar.

May be an idea to see what all of the above people think on the subject.

Stranger things have happened :D

Yes....me. Has to be done....

Please you guys - join forces and re-open the Deep End!

It's so sad to see a decent venue closed and I'm sure the rock crowd are scary enough to keep the townies away :D

As far as I know the Deep End has already been sold on...I cant find out much more detail at the moment.......I heard a rather nasty rumour that a certain property developer is interested in turning it all into apartments!!!!! What is the city coming to!!!!!!

Think we need to look into this.
If the current owners are willing to rent / lease it, who knows ?

I think between the afore mentioned people, we could turn it into something decent (CRB 2 rises from the ashes :D)

What do you think ?

Sent you a PM just now.......

YES YES YES rock n roll will never die......

there seems to be a lot of us into rock and metal stuff.. May be we should get a met sorted out for all of us on here with a rock theme bar claw or night!!

I think it is a tempting suggestion....however, it could be a case of too many people with too many varied ideas at this early stage if you are suggesting an open discussion about a new bar/venue. The first and primary consideration is to secure a suitable venue, which is nightmarishly difficult in Sheffield as everyone is aware. The cost and realization of the venue is the single prime factor, because it pre-determines in many ways the direction and budget of all the subsequent possible solutions.

If you are however, just suggesting a pub crawl......lets do it....

And for those of you who have NOT checked out WESTWAY on Tuesday/Wednesday nights, go on...give it a try....

i am thinking pub craw followed by a rock type club and just having a laugh with out having to lisern to pop and distasteful stuff in the charts or dance music just rock orrentated pubs and clubs that sounds good dont you all think!!!!

I'm starting up another rock night at the Red House - Solly Street

Tuesday nights - Buffy's Rock Music Quiz Show - win a gallon of ale.

Friday nights - Splodge's rock disco (3 Fridays per month, 1st Friday of each month she's at the Horse and Jockey, Wadsley Lane doing a rock show)

-------------------

I'm still doing the White Bear in Ecclesfield on Friday nights and the Moorfoot Tavern on Saturdays.

Splodge is still doing the Royal Oak in Deepcar on Saturday nights.

oh, any is fine for me......the next morning can be oblivion hangover whatever night it is......

I'm still doing the White Bear in Ecclesfield on Friday nights and the Moorfoot Tavern on Saturdays.

Tried out the White Bear a few weeks ago.....was'nt too impressed. Don't get me wrong the staff were great, especially the nutty landlord :hihi: . But me and the girlfriend felt a little outta place being the only dressed up rocker's (customers) there. Maybe we just went out on a bad night, who knows, we'll just have to try again the next friday i have off work.

Was a good night out last Saturday night at the Moorfoot Tavern but we missed you Buffy. :clap: Hope to see you next week unless your having another weekend off.
