Venue and "venue" related stuff, including places, pubbing, gigs and posts about venue. If you have something to contribute concerning venue that is not mentioned here, please contribute. Particularly if you have something to contribute concerning local pubbing or other places, home brew, ale, or appley goodness. Cheers.
This is my personal site, so if you search here for pubbing or other places it will only return venue pubbing / places I have been to or plan to go to. Fingers crossed it will return those anyway...If you are interested in a more broader search please try venue on Folkestone Gerald, where I list national and international places...

Soundgarden Superunknown warm up show at Shepherds Bush... pretty huge venue for a warm up show now I come to think of it...
Shepherds Bush Empire
The Primitives Ah, past their peak, still a treat to see them at a venue this size.
The Joiners
The Beta Band Tonight's venue is crammed with indie's brightest and best, all happily expectant
according to the review in the Independent, that's me in particular to which they were referring...
Electric Ballroom
Camden Crawl II Not just this venue, all around Camden, I saw Collapsed Lung and Moby here though...
Electric Ballroom
The Montrose Avenue Matt Everitt of Menswear was in the band, this was the height of girly indie, there were tiaras, fairy wings, and even rollerskates in the crowd.
Kings College
Terrorvision with Mutha's Day Out and Valve. Sure the last Portsmouth Venue Campaign show that I did was Terrorvision, but these dates still don't line up...
Portsmouth Pyramids
Chumbawamba First of the Portsmouth Venue Campaign freebies helping out on the door. Plus Gunshot, Attilla the Stockbroker, nad Spot the Poet.
Portsmouth Pyramids
Sean Hughes No idea of the date of this but possibly this year. Mark Lamarr supported, maybe the fiirst thing I went to at this venue.
