| The
demise of Sheffield’s National Centre for Popular Music did
little to help the city’s live music scene. Thankfully things have improved a bit of late with some class acts starting to come through once more and an ever-growing number of live music venues attracting capacity crowds. If you want to know the full extent of the live scene – from where to play to what bands to look out for – get yourself a Dirty Stop Out’s Guide Until then here’s a few recommendations: |
|
|
Corporation |
Art:Room |
|
Tel:
0114 276 0262 1-3 Milton Street S1 www.corporation.org.uk Just launched a brand new live room which should give this innovative venue the room it needs to offer even more quality acts. In the past it has staged everything from major punk acts like The Damned to early nineties glam boys LA Guns on the comeback circuit. Major festivals, generally top noise worth going deaf for. |
Tel:
0114 2720070 29-31 Campo Lane S1 www.the-artroom.co.uk Vibrant mix of art and live music that packs in the office workers at lunchtime. Quality happenings at night with regular DJs spinning chilled beats. Don’t miss the dinnertime pianist or regular jazz sessions. |
| The
Casbah |
|
|
Tel:
0114 275 6077 1 Wellington Street S1 Mid-week can be a hotbed of noisy new talent in this cellar club with alternative, beer-charged attitude. Now pulling in a lot of established acts doing the rounds with stalwart punks like the UK Subs and GBH making recent appearances. |

The
Deep End |
|
|
Tel:
0114 285 4000 The former Hillsborough Baths, Langsett Road, Hillsborough S6 www.deependers.co.uk Renowned for bringing live music and breaking new acts in an area of the city not known for its band scene or audience. Packs ’em in for anything from jam sessions to full blown battle of the bands events. |

Hallam
FM Arena |
|
|
Tel:
0114 256 5656 Broughton Lane S9 www.hallamfmarena.co.uk If you’ve got a spare £750,000 knocking about you might want to think about naming this venue in honour of a loved one. Unfortunately you’ll have to wait five years as Hallam FM got there first, hence the new name and upping of the venue’s profile. More gigs than ever in this massive venue that can shrink to accommodate smaller artistes. From rock to retro, indie to ice hockey, it’s all here. |
