The forgotten city once again

Recommended Posts

Bands/artists don't always pick and choose where to go.

 

It's more to do with bad venues having bad booking managers.

Also omitted from most comedians' tours (Count Arthur Strong, Dominic Holland, Mark Watson, etc.)

 

 

Mark Watson didn't do a very good job of missing Sheffield.

I saw him at the Leadmill in June.

 

As for Count Arthur Strong, we can only count our blessings.:rolleyes:

Most bands miss put sheffield now. Arena tours from kasabian, liam gallagher,stereophonics all announced in recent weeks. No sheffield dates. So few bands choose to play here now. It's turning into a ghost town for live music. Given the sizr of the city, it's weird how forgotten it is.

Why has the city become somewhere to avoid for touring bands? Seriously? I know people so "no it hasn't" etc, but a look at the amount of bands playing in the city now compared to 10 years ago puts that argument to bed. I'm sick of travelling to Leeds/Manchester/Nottingham all the time, so now just don't really go to concerts, which is really sad. It's now a place to skip and I'm intrigued as to why. It has a big student population, it's a big city- what has gone wrong?
