Simple as that really. What are people favourite venues or worst? Can be for any reason really.

Best venues
Brudenell Social Club Leeds
Cockpit Leeds
Apollo Manchester
Fibbers York
Roundhouse London

Worst
Pretty much any arena/stadium for me. Feel pretty souless
Leeds Academy
Leeds University (not to be confused with Leeds met)
Can't think of any more at the moment

I am very surprised to see the Adelphi there. I think it is a love hate venue though. With the right band it can be special. In Q magazine many years ago Feeder were asked what the worst venue they have played and the Adelphi was named but then you get Jeffrey Lewis who pretty much every year will play a gig there.
If going abroad I will add Bowery Ballroom very good venue

Just loved it when I went, can see why people don't rate it though!

I'm not a big fan of arenas and tend to avoid as much as possible....Both Manchester MEN and Central are awful.

I must admit I like Blackpool Empress Ballroom, mainly because each time I've been there they were all very good gigs....I like Manchester Ritz too, and being from Warrington, I always find it a shame more bands don't play the Parr Hall, because its actually a good little venue - Probably doesn't help being so close to Manchester and Liverpool.






And so you aim towards the sky,
And you'll rise high today,
Fly away, Far away,
Far from pain....

Don't get out to many gigs tbh

Fav venues from my days out playing in local bands

Fibbers, York - Always loved playing there
The Puzzle Hall Inn, Sowerby Bridge - Small intimate venue
Li'l Back Yard Club, London - Gritty venue with some wicked bands usually on
The Trades Club, Hebden Bridge - Always enjoyed it there, bit of a local haunt
Love Apple, Bradford - Nice little venue

International venues - mostly club based

Zouk, Singapore - Best Venue I have had the pleasure to play
Space, Sharm - It kicked off a little but a great club
One Lounge - Pune, India - Small but a great crowd
Tattingers, Malta - Played there twice now and enjoyed it both times
Van Gogh Club, Russia - Not sure if it still exists, a club above and bellow ground built around a disused nuclear bunker near the Ural Mountains! Great crowd too!






I do a bit of singing with Above & Beyond

Strange how one person likes a venue and another dislikes it!

When Cockpit over sells a gig it's horrible.
