steve_annand   10 #1 Posted July 20, 2004 hi all,  im in a Preston based band and we're looking to play somewhere other than the usual manchester, liverpool, london venues, and have heard that sheffield has quite a good scene.  problem is, ive only heard of the leadmill, so id be grateful if you could suggest a few others too  we're an indie rock band with 99% our own material, been together 8 years and have supported the Verve, Laika dog (ex terrorvision), the Bluetones, amongst others and have recently played with "The Biggest Nirvana Tribute Band In The World" (Nevermind)  if anyone could post a recommended venue with contact details, i'd be most obliged  cheers  steve   our website is http://www.tingods.co.uk  (currently in the process of being updated so the mp3 link is off at the mo) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

cohen   10 #6 Posted July 27, 2004 The old place that used to be a swimming baths, and converted into a bar - I don't recon much to the decor in there but the sound system isn't bad - 0114 2854000 - you need to ask for a guy called tom, I think he is in charge of the booking of bands  Rob Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
