They've got live local bands, they just had Charlotte from the Subways, they've got the Futureheads ina few weeks and the Holloways playing in March! who else is doing that? and no drinks were more than £2.50! had a great night just hope they keep it going.

It also has Basement Music on Tuesday nights which plays indie, old and new punk, hip hop, ska and lots more. The Sugarhouse, in addition to Popscene on a Thursday night now has Rockscene playing heavier tracks in the backroom.

• Yorkshire House The Bobin Sometimes the Gregson Sugar House has signed bands sometimes.
• Gregson, Sugarhouse, up at Lancaster University...
• yorkshire house...love it, i go to lancashire, but i find a place that's got my roots! Yorkshire Rules!!!
• The Yorkshire House on North Road local goth/rock/indie. The Gregson Centre on Moorlane as above, but also some more "avat garde" music The Sugar House club has upcoming/donggoing bands- probably better to go through to the Dome at Morecambe or save up for an evening in Manchester
• Free Live Music from local bands is great at Paddy Mulligans usualy several times a week. Also the Live and Unsigned Music Society hold free nights on Monday upstairs in Revolution, theres usualy a free buffet as well. the Best place for JAZZ and FOLK is the Old John O'Gaunt near market square, esp on sunday at lunch time.
• the bobbin n hounsy ptery
• Live jazz, etc. at the John O'Gaunt pub.
• Readers who are presently ignorant of it's existence are warmly advised to check out The Yorkshire House. Live bands most weekends, mainly playing original material, plus regular events such as the Spotlight Club, a cabaret event held every third friday of the month. The upstairs room had a capacity of one hundred and is often full up, so get down early. They also have a lovingly maintained website at www.yorkshirehouse.enta.net.
• definitely the Sugar House - a great place!!
• Sugar House - see above. The Gregson Centre has comedy local bands making idiots of themselve and hippies are common.
• If you have a band, then hook up with other bands. Together you can put on band nights, hire out the upstairs of local pubs - that sort of thing. If the music co-op is still open that's the place to make contacts. And if you're a student, make friends with the local scene, that way you get a following with enough money to pay entrance and who won't go away in the summer.
• the Alex has been kitted out with a stage and band P.A., ctering to the alternative/rock side of things, full updates on the regular gigz being staged at www.thealex.com
• the alex has live bands on and so does john o'gaunts, the uni sometimes has shit bands on.... and thats about it.
• Lancaster House housed a BBC-sponsored event. Good fun, but a bit small.
• See Clubs. Also visit Lancaster University. Has previously hosted The Smiths, Thompson Twins, Japan, etc. (all of which in my day)
• Absolute shite - don't come to Lancaster for this part of your life - the only time you get anyone up here is at the end of summer term at the University, when each college holds an extrav. DJ Lewis gets a gold star for the incredible set he played last year, everyone dancing on the roofs and rushing like bastards as the sun came up!!!
• The situation is improving as far as decent bands coming to Lancaster is concerned. With the Sugarhouse under new management, we've had Hawkwind, Carter, Echobelly, The Bluetones, & Cast in the last two terms and will be hosting Ash and Sleeper in the summer term. It's certainly a vast improvement on previous years, and it's sure to continue...
