uk music venues catering for polish market?

as some of you know i have a good friend who has successfully established himself as a musician in poland

we are putting together dates and venues for a uk tour this summer - so far he has gigs in glasgow, edinburgh, london and portsmouth but would obviously like to play venues in between...

can people suggest venues in the uk that might be worth approaching?

T - is there anywhere in donny that you can think of?

blackpool

thanks - specific venues?

depends on what genre of music.. for live bands i would say The Winter Gardens

they are a 5 piece band and describe themselves as playing acid jazz, funk, nu beat, big beat and old school funky hip hop...

I will have a good mosee about and give you some venues not a problem bubba ... will have a gander about tomorrow but i am sure i could come up with a few places.

Do they have a webpage or anything?

Leave it with me hun will get back to you

theglennskiis.com/england.html



thanks

Checked 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 problem

In 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 personally

The Boiler Rooms -- have live Dj sets mainly and i mean by Dj the big name ones

The Priory -- sounds like a rehab clinic -- but featured in the recent NME magazine

If you want contact details let me know or anything i will happily obtain for you

I 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

thanks a lot T

converted church sounds my style as well... i will google them and see what i can find

No 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.

hi 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 moment
any good

cheers 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...?

hello mate i am pleased to hear that lol
the essex spectacular is a once a year thing. its like a festival with allsorts going on. i can't tell you too much as i dont know anymore than that. i will find out and let you know.

did you google up the places i gave hun hope they are of some good to you but i will keep my ear to ground for other places in Doncaster.

In sheffield there is the leadmill and Sheffield has a good polish community also

hej T

i googled camelots but didnt get anything - i will google the rest of them to see what they turn up but camelots sounds most suitable to our needs

i will also google the leadmill in sheffield... thanks for the heads up

sims in the post

i live in sheffield 4 years !!!!! try the uni bars they put on alot of different gigs

Camelots Doncaster details i will get for you on wednesday as i am heading into town then so i will grab them from the outside of the building

its all good on the heads up glad to help

thanks for the input T

Lincoln,Newark,Nottingham

Night & Day Cafe on Oldham Street Manchester always has live bands on and gets a good crowd.

cheers A - will look into it

Also 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

the 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.

here is camelots email - camelots@btinternet.com to mail them about their venue for hire here in doncaster bubbawoo :D

Ive not been in Joshua Brooks for years - which Czech bar?? not heard of that
