Yorkshire and the Humber venues

Yorkshire and the Humber has produced an enviable abundance of musical talent in recent years. It’s no coincidence, therefore, that its small live venues are on the bucket lists of so many musicians.

From social clubs and pubs to former flour mills and libraries, you’re never short of places to play live in God’s Own Country.

There’s the Leadmill, Sheffield’s longest running music venue, which was once described as a ‘rite of passage’ by Franz Ferdinand.

There’s also the New Adelphi Club in Hull where Oasis played the day before releasing their first single, which still holds a Musicians Night every week. You get the idea.

However, your options aren’t limited to the big cities if you want to attract a crowd and experience a memorable atmosphere.

For example, the Trades Club in the small town of Hebden Bridge is one of the UK’s main folk music hubs, while the Live Room in Shipley is revered by fans of roots and acoustic music.
