Re: BEST MUSIC VENUES IN THE UK

It's a cult venue and in a nice location but I don't really see what's great about it. Lists like that are about what celebrities will cheer lead for it. Still, good for them!

Re: BEST MUSIC VENUES IN THE UK

I've done 4 of those listed.

I quite like the tramsheds as a venue, think it is better than Clwb Ifor Bach anyway

I'm with Sludge on this. Newport Centre was bloody awesome in the 90s. Don't understand why they shut it down.

I'm going to see Alex G on the 28th. I'm surprised they are playing there after having one of the albums of the year in 2022.

Not enough revenue,suffered terribly from lack of investment , badly hit by net immigration , massive drug problem , allowed Terry Matthews to run amok and build his own and funded £22.5m grant into ICC Venue where folk with cars are buggered , built in a nice immigration tribunal centre nearby in Langstone so out of the way costs welsh taxpayers £2,500 in taxi fares per month ..

Love a good plan , run down the city centre , dreadful health care , welcome to soclaslsist wales

I've never been, and not sure if I'll ever get the chance now, but I'd love to see a gig at the Brixton Academy. I'm surprised it's not on the list.

Saw The Charlatans and Chemical Brothers there at some all nighter in the mid 90’s.

Took my younger Brother and we were witness to some bloke getting his throat/neck slashed right outside.

Think they are having issues keeping it open at the moment after a riot there.

That view , your view , of Newport Centre....is Newport City Centre

Not that of Newport Lesuire Centre as a concert venue
