    Is a proper live music venue. I know its been mentioned before on here but how great would it be to be able to see some decent bands/artists here instead of having to travel to travel to Leeds or Sheffield?

    Maybe when the Glassworks cinema opens Parkway Cinema could be turned into a venue?

    That would be great but unfortunately they wouldn't get a live music licence due to the residents that live on grove street and other surrounding areas.

    Polish club, opium, garrison all put gigs on

    The venues are there you just need a promoter to take a few gigs on and get a scene going, the arches were brilliant, self funded and promoted just needs someone like that again willing to give it a go

    Been to decent gigs at all of those. I was talking about something like the size of Leadmill or Plug in Sheffield or maybe even an o2 academy.

    Wouldn't be sustainable. Leeds & Sheffield too near. Just the way it is I'm afraid.

    How many towns attract decent bands though? Major bands will do Leeds, Manchester, Sheffield and Newcastle etc. - that tends to be it for up north really?

    If they built an o2 academy in Hudds, Wakefield or Barnsley it would get overlooked for the bigger cities. Even York these days gets snubbed, used to get loads at Fibbers in 90s.

    I've always travelled to Manc and Leeds for gigs and I don't mind that. I don't expect bands to play on my doorstep, as much as I would love them to. We are lucky we have so many big cities within 30 mins to an hour's commute. Would be crap living in Carlisle for music id imagine :)

    Yes & smaller venues like the Brudenell & Wardrobe in Leeds have excellent promoters with track records and contacts, which it would be impossible to compete with. Venues in Barnsley are only going to be able to cover more the 200 capacity type gigs.

    Slight tangent.... whats happening with the old hedonism site? Walked past it before the Luton game and was surprised nothing seemed to be happening with it, given the swiftness with which it was razed to the ground.

    Parking spaces ran by the same crew running the parking at the back of the Shakespeare I think.

    Capacity on the old Theatre Royal on wellington street is about 800 I think, always thought it would make a good live music venue.
