• Zaks -- my band PRINCE MINK played there once, just two of us. crackin.
• Just want to add to the comment on bar central. If people were prepared to make an effort and support the nights then they might actualy get a metal/rock night on the weekend, Bonzi is still doing his Thursday nights but some weeks with so few people in he's not even making his petrol money. Tuesdays have been axed now because the place was empty, so dont complain about it just get up there Thursdays before we end up with 7 nights of garage a week.
• Woughton Centre - PITZ
• The pitz, woughton centre is great for Rock and metal Milton Keynes National bowl during summer time usually has some big bands to mention, this year (2001) we've had ACDC, Black sabbath, Bon jovi, Robbie williams.
• BIG disaster at Bar Central as they've cut the EXCELLENT Saturday nite.(dunno why,management decision haha so take it up with them).DJ BONZI doin slot on Thurs nites now - only good thing left in the place.

• The Fox and Hounds pub in Stony Stratford - to the northwest of MK is brilliant on a Thursday or Saturday night if you like live guitar-based / Blues-style music.
• The Sanctuary music venue next to Rollers, has all the good raves, from Helter Skelter to Hardcore Heaven , plus events like Gods Kitchen etc.
• Zaks (above Queen Vic Pub) Wolverton
• The Pitz - yeah, 'Terrorvision' played a couple of weeks ago and it was great (I even crowd-surfed), 'Teen Spirit' are playing on 9th Oct, and they're supposed to rock, but I'll be in Cambridge at Skunk Anansie, *tut*!
• Stables @ Wavendon is where you can go to hear not just jazz but music of all types, bluegrass, folk, acid, classical, comedy and revue
• sanctury
• There are also a few live music venues - and anyone who has been to one please let us know what they are like. I mean there are the Stables, then there is Woughton, the Bowl (- I don't rate this as it is too flat - OK if you are 7 feet tall but us normal folk can't see!).
• I have now been to the Stables and have to report this is a live venue that is superb. It is so small that you feel as though you are able to talk to the artist whilst they perform. It does have drawbacks like the seating plan means that half the audience is watching side on. I am impressed that the artists keep on coming back to such a small venue. This is definitely the venue to support!
• New theatre, near Food Centre it is being built and it will be an art gallery and theatre also with liive bands, clubs and restaurants etc! THERE IS A NEW HOCKEY STADIUM TOO!!!
• * Bar Central, a club with over 200 capacity, is located at the top level of the food hall in the shopping centre (next to waitrose). Friday and Saturday nights are eth best. Fridays are indie nights and have a band on generally every 2 weeks. The bands are mostly local talent. Bands don't start till 12pm as there is a restaurant below. The sound system is alright. Saturday nights is more dance orientated with a great little club. * Zaks Bar, Wolverton. Nice little venue, more cover and tribute bands though. * Main Arena, Wolverton. (Surprisingly not closed down). Good capacity venue. The Supernaturals & Wannadies played there in 97 to packed audiences. Been very quiet since. Occasional club night on. * Woughton Centre, Woughton (A.K.A The Pitz). A leisure centre with an exceedingly large sized hall. Only place real commercial bands are likely to play. Still remains more heavy metal orientated with bands on. Very good for looking after the local talent. Puts on nights with 3 or 4 local bands. * The Sanctuary, holds massive dance nightsm is an arena size venue. * Stables, only acts that play here are the less commercial ones and those who are getting old.
• "The Stables" at Wavendon. Eclectic.
• Nearby Olney has wine bar with live bands Wed,Friday and Saturday night that is WELL worth a visit...
• The Bowl (ouch, not nice place).
• Woughton Centre (The Pitz). Played host to bands such as Blur (before they were signed), Boo Radleys, etc. Small bands nowdays. Bar Central. Raw Milton Keynesian talent
