blackpool_uk 8 | 19 25 Feb 2007 / #4depends on what genre of music.. for live bands i would say The Winter Gardens

telefonitika 25 Feb 2007 / #8Checked out the web :)will have a listen tomorrow to their style :)But here is a few just off top of my head to get you started i suppose will keep moseeing about for you though ... its not a problemIn Doncaster here are some venue places:The Dome -- big names have played here recently radio 1 and the kaiser chiefs (videos can been seen on youtube)Camelots -- converted church fair size -- i would probably for the bands style -- recommend here personallyThe Boiler Rooms -- have live Dj sets mainly and i mean by Dj the big name onesThe Priory -- sounds like a rehab clinic -- but featured in the recent NME magazineIf you want contact details let me know or anything i will happily obtain for youI would say Doncaster College but the venue hall even though had room for a stage and recently had local band M*101 who are hitting the big time now and bigged up by Radio 1 played there prior to Chris Moyles coming i dont think the polish community of doncaster would all fit lmao
OP BubbaWoo 33 | 3,506 25 Feb 2007 / #9thanks a lot T :)converted church sounds my style as well... i will google them and see what i can find:)
telefonitika 25 Feb 2007 / #10No problems it is quite a good venue in Doncaster personally i have been there when it used to be a club venue. But live acts play there nowadays and as i say it is a fair size roomy.Close to the centre of town but not in the main thrust of it.
dasla - | 52 26 Feb 2007 / #11hi bubba we should stop meeting like this.a customer of mine owns a venue bar in braintree essex and i know loads of polish people here well a few but there are a lot in the area. its called hoggs. and the person who runs it is called paul he also deals with the essex spectacular its is being upgraded to hold 200 people at the momentany good
OP BubbaWoo 33 | 3,506 26 Feb 2007 / #12cheers dasla... im quite happy to keep on meeting like this... :)sounds like a good lead... the band sings in english so should appeal to a local crowd as well...whats the score with the essex spactacular...?

Amathyst 19 | 2,702 21 May 2007 / #20BubbaWooNight & Day Cafe on Oldham Street Manchester always has live bands on and gets a good crowd.
Amathyst 19 | 2,702 21 May 2007 / #22Also try Dry Bar - Oldham Street Manchester - was Tony Wilsons bar back in the day - not sure what the crowd is like these days not been in for ages - usually the well connected kind if you know what I mean
Daniel07 21 May 2007 / #23the basement at joshua brooks in manchester. really nice intimate venue usually hosting nights varying from techno,hip hop,electro,jazzy stuff.also the czech bar is good (manchester). they have a lot of the stuff you mentioned on there every week with a nice mixed crowd of people there.also 'the attic' on oxford road (underneath the trainstation) is very popular with varying music styles on offer.
telefonitika 21 May 2007 / #24here is camelots email - camelots@btinternet to mail them about their venue for hire here in doncaster bubbawoo :D
