The Local Music Scene in Dudley, West Midlands*

Dudley, West Midlands Record Shops and Venues

Record Shops

• The shop with all the oasis autographs in the window, sort of opposite the post office. -The staff dont talk to you but some good stuff in there if you feelin retro!!!
• ST RECORDS!!! Located on Wolverhampton St, they have everything you could ever ask for. If they dont have it, they can get it. Very good prices and freindly staff. I dont buy music from anywhere else.
• Used to be a couple near top church and past it a little.
• There's two near the central market, selling lots of old stuff, some of which is a bit pricey but they know their stuff and can get you some really good autographs.
• ST records (or sommert like that) next to the paper shop on wolverhampton street is gr8 for rock music.
• One or two record shops down New Street (up the road from the Cop Shop) - can't remember their names!
• Jamaica Records High street

Clubs (Dance Music) and Music Bars

• Ref.JB`S nightclub-It`s the longest running rock club in the U.K.-Into it`s 36th year,and it aint closing,just getting better-Try it!
• For a period of about 2 years JB's was my second home! The drinks are decently priced, and depending on who's DJing the music can be very good. On the downside, the girls in JB's have had more pricks than a pin cushion and you need a pair of wellies to wade through the river of piss to get to the toilet.
• JBs good atmosphere and Remarkably young looking members(good brand of face cream)
• jbs and krush
• JB's shitty and full of youthful people
• Millenium - is pants!
• No Limits aka No Standards
• JBS a real greasy indie club full of excitable youngsters

Live Music Venues

• courthouse jbs lamp tavern shed
• We have shows at dudley music centre (lawnswood road)a few times each term. Theres some really good music there sometimes.
• The Shed, on Brettle Lane - Nice venue - but do they really need all those bouncers???
• I dig JB's and The Lamp Tavern cuz they both have live music.
• I've seen some quality bands play JB's Nightclub. Sadly the venue rarely seems to attract a decent sized audience.
• JBs- excellent for all ages,it's not just about greasy excitable youngsters, DJs are great, always a friendly atmosphere
• JB's shitty
• JB's is great for "alternative" nights out, and its a great atmosphere at the rock disco on a thursday night. (half of dudley college's students are down there!)
• JBs - But i think its closing soon
• JB's - Bottom of Castle Hill - watch the sticky floor! Robin Hood Club - ok gigs but pricey entry.... The Shed is rumoured to be good....
• The albion pub on stone street where i do the karaoke on a saturday night at 7.30pm sorry was i advertising again.

The Knowhere Guide started out as a list of places to skateboard in the UK. It is a compilation of (unedited) information and views supplied by users like yourself. It is not a conventional tourist guide!

In most cases, the information in each section has been submitted by more than one contributor (the credits at the bottom of the page list some, but not all, of the contributors) and some of it dates back to the 1970s.

We make no claims as to the accuracy of the information in the Guide - our only purpose is to provide a forum for users to share their knowledge and opinions. So please keep a large bag of salt handy and be prepared to read between the lines!

If you disagree with a comment, or information is out of date, please submit an update! The contributors come from all walks of life, and their opinions are bound to be subjective, so if your view isn't represented, please speak up and contribute to the balance of the Guide. See below in the 'Have Your Say' section for how to add your voice.

If we have helped you out or made you laugh you can buy us a pint.
