Live Music

[Bonnielass]

Does anyone know of pubs in and around this area that have live music? Or a listing anywhere, tried the internet yesterday and it was rubbish!

[Green Man]

Hi bonnielass try the Dursley Arms or white swan on saturday nights [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Rosie, are you just after T'bridge or are you interested in further afield, will ask one of the lads at work who is into live music he might know where you can look.

[Bonnielass]

It would be nice if it was a little further afield so we could ride to the venue. I have a feeling that someone on the forum sings in a band (maybe Gladilicious), perhaps she could put on here where she is playing! [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

[Jacde]

Ooh I think you are right, I'm sure she said something about a band on the girls ride out. If further afield is good will definitely ask the lad at work as he goes to loads of gigs.

We have live music on the last Saturday of every month, do you know any good bands if so let us know. The Harp and Crown in Gastard is where I'm at. [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

The pigs in Corsham has music on every Monday night. Its on Pickwick Rd next to the Hare and Hound.

The Old Road Tavern in Chippenham has a stage in their barn. Seen a couple of bands there and generally a good atmosphere. Also has a beer garden and is right by the train station. Frequented by people with a more "alternative" lifestyle you may draw some funny looks if you were to wear something as flamboyant as, say, a shirt or leather shoes. I'm always on the lookout for decent music venues so let us know how you get on.

Rosie, the Angel in Westbury does live music on the weekend and I also do date related disco's in there as well and I've been known to grab the mic and have a little sing as well ;D

If you're interested, I'm doing a 70's and 80's weekend up there starting from 8pm till midnight and you're more than welcome to come along [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

The Pilot in Bowerhill Melksham has live bands every Friday nite and singer on Saturday nites.

[Bonnielass]

Thanks guys for your input, definitely some good ideas there. There used to be a really good music scene locally but it seems to have gone off the boil lately. I'll keep you posted if I do get to see any good bands and likewise if any of you see of a good band playing post it up here. [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Sir Audleys arms have got Who's Next , the uk's premier The Who tribute band, playing this saturday from 20:30. They're pretty lively but don't smash up their kit unfortunately.

The pub is in audley road, Chippenham. Should be a great night....unless you don't like The Who in which case i'd probably not bother.

[Bonnielass]

Thanks Wiltshire Builders, I have seen Who's Next and they''re pretty damn good, this is exactly the sort of band I'm looking for, unfortunately I won't be able to go, I have my son coming home for the weekend and I don't think it would be his sort of thing. [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

[wiltshire builders]

I'm going to a party up the road so can't make it either. Might slip out when nobodys looking.
The boys from county hell are booked for september. I'm pretty sure you know who they are. I'll find out the exact date and post it on here.

They had the Killertones the other week who are also worth a listen. [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

[Bonnielass]

Sounds like a good place to go, I'll have to give them a call, see if I can get a list of who's playing and when. Cheers. [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

The Vic and The Rolly have live music almost every weekend, both in Swindon.

It would be nice if it was a little further afield so we could ride to the venue. I have a feeling that someone on the forum sings in a band (maybe Gladilicious), perhaps she could put on here where she is playing! [smiley=thumbsup.gif]


Yup, Jen sings in a local band called Echo, you can find them at http://www.echo-band.co.uk with a gig listing. Mostly around Swindon but some further towards Trobro (and some in the other direction).

Rosie, I asked the chap at work who is into his live music and he said all the bars/pubs that Stu, JayJay, McIcy and Mortica have posted. Also mentioned the Face bar in Reading and said both Newbury and Bristol were good places to head for live music. Hope that helps :)

[Bonnielass]

Thanks Jacde, I will certainly check some of these out. [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
