• One of the big issue sellers down on the piazza has taken to singing...badly, and theres usualy a busker outside boots, just be warned somtimes its a drippy student with a flute
• There is a collective in the Byram Arcade, upstairs, called Culture in Kirklees, who will be able to point you in the direction of all the local creative types and venues etc. Ask for Sarah. They also have facilites for artists and possible PA hire/studio space.
• RIVERSIDE STUDIOS EST 1981 OPENING SOON IN HUDDERSFIELD WEST YORKSHIRES NO.1 RECORDING & REHEARSAL FACILITIES
• abrahams, tho it shuts down on 31st october
• Dance Paradise u18s at Paparazzi have live PA's.
• The Camel now have a live music night almost every thursday.

• Abrahams often has a good live music scene for up & coming artists use to have a great atmosphere - though not sure now
• Head Of Steam (at the railway station) does mid-week gigs. Ecclectic is the word, I think; jazz, alternative folky-rocky stuff. Just the sort of thing undergraduate posers and middle-aged hippies adore. I love it.
• A boring band comes once every 2 or 3 years to the Mc Alpine. Go to Manchester.
• The lockwood, you can hear some good bands here...cant mention them all but most of them are fantastic Us Yorkshire folk are well talented, Can I say i totally disagree with the comment made before about rigsby being 'up their own arse' I think they are fantastic, as do loads of other people!
• abrahams - buzzkill and 86 once played there the west - full of pookas.....but some bands play there - all the bands are shit poop though
• The Boy and Barrell for a tone deaf geriatric on an organ and a bunch of toothless 80 year olds trying to eat pie and peas.
• Four Horseshoes, Milnsbridge. Live bands every Friday, free entrance and the landlady (as of December 2000) likes flashing her tits.
• McAlpine stadium, if they ever put any more bands on
• NO LIVE MUSIC ALLOWED IN HUDDERSFIELD.
• abrahams in westgate a new promotion has started on wednesdays from the end of august playing the kind of music you want to hear so why not come along beer promotions available
• The Parish Pump, occasionally. My lounge.
• You can go and see some crappy huddersfield bands in Oneils, or Yorkshire Victoria, though most bands in huddersfield have this kind of 'im so much better than you' attitude. One of the called 'Rigsby' aka halcyon daze used to be good, they sound ok, but need more imagination. Just dont talk to em, each member has the worst attitude ever, they think they are gods gift to women...yeah right!
• The Yorkshire Vic pub near Visage may still do live music on weekday nights
• alfred mcalpine stadium
• University
• Eden - university often invites acts for the pleasure of everyone...
