• DOVE AND RAINBOW
• Sheffield Uni's union is very good on a tuesday night (Tuesday Club) if you're into hip-hop and DnB. Off the top of my head DJ Yoda, The Pharcyde, The Freestylers have played their in the past 3 months. The Plug is, in my opinion, by far the best club in Sheffield. I have been to see the Cooper Temple Clause, Adam Freeland (on the same night, how amazing is that!) Mr Scruff and De la Soul their. Also a special mention for Urban Gorilla, a club night held in many venues throughout Sheffield City Centre and book the top names in modern dance music, including James Lavelle and Evil Nine. Enjoy.
