Hi everyone I'm new to this website and must admit I'm pretty surprised no one has done it before. It's a great idea.
As regards the Leamington music scene issue, I'm with Steve on that one really. It was pretty strong five or six years ago. Anyone that's been hanging around it as long as I have will know that it has fits an spurts. It's on a level grounding at the moment from what I can see but we'll see what happens with it over the next couple of months.
Leamington really does miss a proper purpose built/adapted venue such as Cox's Yard. It's all very well playing pubs all the time but it's not the same as playing a proper venue such as Cox's Yard or the Garage in London.
Steve is right, Leamington does cling onto it's former importance and such a venue would put it properly back on the music scene (and all the financial knock on effects
).....), nationally, for good, rather than having these fits and spurts.
Yeah there's the Spa Centre, but that's too big for most bands that are looking for a good gig in the area.
