• Kelly's, Robin's Well. Both are pretty good
• for live music the best place by far has to be robbins well!!! down in the basement on a Friday it's drum n bass night, and i'm sure i've seen one of the best DJ's not to mention one of the best looking men in leamington, Alexis Baddeley, there!!! on a Saturday night it's Heavy metal all the way with plenty of space to mosh and headbang till your heart is content!! The live bands can vary between upstairs and downstairs but they are always really bloody brilliant, cuz as we know Leamington Spa has the most young up and coming bands than any where else in the UK!! GO ON!!! Sunday nights at the well are wicked, because it's open mic night. if you have a guitar a song and a voice then feel free to go up and make a prat out of yourself, my Turkish friend Giavanni does every week, he's quite the local celeb because of it!! And you thought that was all...??!! ha ha!! HEIST is one of the most amazing hip hop events i have been to in my entire life. there's live M.C's excellent break dancers, and i do believe the first time i went there were foreign men dressed as farm animals. Quality. so now it's back at the well and bigger than ever as of Thursday 10th February, but they're expanding so watch out for posters or flyers for other venues!!! Phew, so that's enough of that then, incase you hadn't noticed i am a huge fan of the well (plus i fancy the pants off the manager Andy and the doorman Neil!!!) there's a juke box upstairs if you have no taste in music and didn't like the sound of any of the above!!!! i'm pretty sure there's some Westlife for all you Shav's out there!!! the beverages are amazingly cheap especially if you have a yellow card!! all you need to register is an NUS card and £1 in English mobey and you'll get several pence off all your drinks!!! Tuesday night is Pound a pint night whether you are a student or not!!! If you are a bit of a thinker then get there early on a Sunday for the Pub Quiz before open mic night starts!!! personally I've never taken part, being a natural blonde and all i don't think there's much point, but everyone seems to enjoy themselves!! The leather sofas are more than just comfotable, so if you get there early enough be sure to snap one up!!! i reccommend the red one towards the far end of the pub upstairs!!! Ladies my oh my aren't we priveleged!!?! we get two sets of loos!!! yay, go us!!! the bar staff are all absolutely amazing just dont tell andy i fancy him!!!
• Abandon at Jug n Jester on mondays... usually 2 or 3 bands, went the other day and one band was crap... but the other ws amazing n more then made up for it. Quite indie, lot's of alternative types, which i like and seems to be quite rare in leam.
• just to update everyone kellys is now reopend and under new managment.landlord and licensee is david webb.been open now for nearly a year and is becoming very succesfull with live bands every week old and new. bands are playing at kellys from as far as wales, coventry, ilse of white, london,playing blues, rock,punk, drum and bass and plenty of tribute bands.bands such as V8, interchange, buzzys drm and bass,scoobies, riff raff coming soon and many others. kellys allso have jamming nights on sundays between 3pm and 7pm.reasonale bar prices and late bar.i think everybody who enjoyed going to kellys should go down and check it out for yourselves i dont think you will be dissopointed. to keep the music alive kellys charges a small entrance fee wich a 100% goes straight to the band.
• Kellys is open again with fantastic live music check out their website (which is sometimes updated!) www.kellysvenue@fsnet.co.uk or pop in they have listings of who's playing inside. No where near the rough place it used to be, the friendliest place I've ever been in.
• Isn't anywhere anymore though Genius Breed (class act) play in Robins Well occasionally
• The Lounge now has live music, including the fantastic Penfold. Try www.penfold-online.co.uk for more details
• There is always good live music in Moo, Rouge and even The Star and Garter pub in Warwick Place!
• Oh no, what a bummer, Kellys has closed down! Moo Bar has just been granted a Public Entertainments License so keep an eye out on what's happening there (Dec 2002). There are also whispers that Sugar will have bands on Sunday nights?
• Not a music venue I know but The Baroque on Clarendon Avenue hosts Ryan Gough's Spa-tickles Comedy Club every other Thursday, a top night out.
• Robins well has live bands every so often.
• Well apart from up and coming groups in pubs there are no real music venues. Sure the Spa centre plays host to a few has beens but thats about it unless you count large scale concerts at Warwick Castle.
• Leamington Peace Festival takes place in the Pump Room Gardens in June every year - lots of free bands,local and from further afield. Brilliant atmosphere but nothing to do with Kelly's - it's organised by a bunch of volunteers. Did I mention it is free..?
• WHAT MUSIC VENUES?
• Leamington lacks any kind of live music scene. For the sake of balance I should point out that Kellys do try, but if you are into original material give it a miss and go to the Colloseum in Coventry or the Academy or Custard Factory in B'ham. It's a pity really, because there are a lot of bands in the area that have to travel for gigs.
• There is no good live venues for original music. Although if you have a love of old white men preening themsleves to cock rock, then you should try Kellys.
• If there are any they are very poorly advertised. Warwick Uni is ya best bet for bands etc. i saw the JJ72's there about 3 months before they hit big time. Another place for good music is just a bus ride away in Coventry. A pub called the hand and heart also boasts a JJ72 appearance not all that long ago. Also the Colleseum in Cov is my favourite local venue. Never any trouble, nice classy indie chicks and skater girls and not a pair of kickers or a Kappa Tracksuit in sight.
• erm i don't think so go to Luton lots of rock and metal bands playing all the time (ish)
• Kellys is excellent. Wednesdays is acoustic night, where anyone can get up and jam using the instruments provided. Thursdays is new bands night, fridays and saturdays usually have the bigger local (and not so local) acts, and cover bands and is open til 12. The levellers played there once ya know.
• The Tiller Pin, Kellys for the best tribute bands in the area
• Kelly's Leamington Peace Festival, every summer
• Kelly's at the bottom of town is an excellent live music venue, with bands on about 3/4 times a week.
• Royal Spa Centre
