Hi all, I'm new in Sheffield (just moved to Sharrow). Could anyone tell me which pubs and other venues are likely to book an unknown (but very experienced) rock covers band. I've got my fellow band members coming up on for a visit on the 1st April and have given me the challenge of getting us a gig for that night, but not knowing the scene I've no idea where to start.

If anyone could help, or indeed if anyone's willing to take on an energetic rock covers band that night I'd greatly appreciate it. We cover the likes of the Chili Peppers, Rage Against The Machine, Foo Fighters, Green Day, Nirvana.

Ta,
Paul

Thanks very much for that info!

Many thanks. We eventually managed to get a slot at the Highcliffe Arms, Greystone Road. Next Saturday, April 1st, 8pm if anyone's interested!
