  • The Fealty and Firkin (upstairs) hosts a variety of local bands. Sites like this condemning them as "no hopers" makes it harder for them but they still try. They play every style and have a definate passion for their music. So don't write them off and get out on a friday night!
  • Bodegas and Durties among others have some good local bands
  • West Green Club
  • Mainly happening in sheffield at the arena.
  • The Theatre is a boozer well worth a visit. Massive coverted theatre with funny things on the walls and ceiling. It also has bands.
  • Hello? In Barnsley?
  • Wellington Street.
  • Dodgy workintg mens clubs (just think of Vic Reeves' Club Style' of singing)
  • You've gotta be having a laugh. The thing about Barnsley is that as it's so close to Sheffield and Leeds, hardly any decent bands play here, so you've usually gotta travel to see a decent band. The Theatre (actually a large pub, formally a theatre) puts on lots of bands, none of them good - however it had a 12 o'clock license the last time I was there. The Civic regularly puts on loads of shite. The student bar has the potential to be good, but the manager's a clueless wanker. Various no-hoper local bands play at a few pubs, but they're normally not worth bothering with. If you fancy a laugh check out the very derivative Full Fathom Five (or Full Fathom Fuck).
