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
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....
