• It use b called welcome (Ithink). back of deli, they still have up and coming groups, most of them really good . Pity it shut so early , me and hubby shockd at atmosphere , really friendly , use b duckin bar stools years ago and eveyone wanted to fight back then.
• The Globe Acoustic night is fantastic. The host gets in the way a bit but you get used to him. Greg's Wednesday night electric jam is well run but the venue's a bit of a let down and can be overrun by idiots being a two o'clock bar. Bell and Barrell on Thursday is good but is overrun by egos.
• The globe acoustic night on tuesdays is ok when its full and people turn up but the guy who runs it is kinda pedantic and quite annoying. he thinks it's better than it is and needs to get off his high horse. The wednesday electric jam night at the zoo bar on westfield street is MUCH much better. greg who runs that is absolutely sound and does his best to fit people into the jam schedule. Always draws a good crowd and defo worth a visit. The citadel when we played ther a few years ago was very touch and go - sometimes a big lively crowd, sometimes more dead than a 300year old woodlice that got caught under a steamroller's wheel. The best place to head if you're a brand new band who've been practisin 4 a few months is defo the citadel, after you've warmed up a bit at the wednesday jam night a few times!
• The Heath are performing at the Bell And Barrel Friday 30th Sept 9.00pa start. If you like Old School Punk/Indie this is the band to watch. be there of be square. Chris

• citadel, moshers can spaz around to their hearts content
• Buzbys is the place to be on a Sunday afternoon - live bands and loud music.
• ? Manchester Apollo
• The Raven
• The Citadel is rather shitty, despite having the best PA system and engineers on Merseyside. Stars Will Fall seem to be on there constantly. They occasionally have good bands and artists on, but the Collective nights are just crap. The best bet for live music in St Helens are the Twobar Nights at the Green Room (thursdays) and the Zoo Bar (alternate tuesdays).
• THAT TAMP OUTSIDE WOOLWORTHS NO DOUBT ABOUT IT xkt
• Local Band "THE HEATH" are playing at Cruisers Bar (Crystals)11.04.04 Sunday. If your into band like the Phonics, The Jam, James, Snow Patrol, Paul Weller then this is the Band to watch. (THE HEATH NOT TO BE MISSED)Note: Also Advertised in the St Helens Reporter.
• I'm a scouser, and for my sins, I had the dubious pleasure of visiting flex 2 to watch the finest band in the world, the woollyback's finest poisoned electrick head. what's the deal with flex 2, I really would like to know an answer to this question!
• The Citadel. That's it. The Raven Lodge used to have some dodgy bands on a while ago (10 years+), it was cool. But last time I went in there it was shite.
• just appeared on the music scene but Zoo Cafe Bar on Westfield St has really atmospheric band nights on Mondays when nothing is happening anywhere else. you can even relax upstairs and watch the band 'live' playing downstairs from the large tv screens. Jam night Wednesday is cool and thay have draft Bud. Chilled kind of place.
• Zanzibar on seel st. in liverpool for decent local bands, and manchester uni for decent punk/rock bands
• the citadel, fantastic.

• daya nd nite
• The Citadel
• bell and barrel every wednesday jam night with the immortal "lurve brothers" also live rock every friday and saturday nights.
• the citadel was great but i've not been for ages so it might not be as good now. i remember seeing the verve, ocean colour scene, the stone roses (under a different name i think) and wonderful frank sidebottom! he had an entourage with him that included radio one dj mark radcliffe. was frank sidebottom really lard?
• Bands have to book out pubs themselves these days. Bell & Barrel, Black Bull, Raven, Market Place all have bands on sometimes. You can always join the collective to get a gig at the citadel but you have to wait months to play there because tommy two sticks has his favourite bands which he lets play more times than yours
• The Citadel do the odd bands night, but you'd be better off heading into liverpool.
• Is the citadel still going?

• The Citadel was cool, now it just looks posh and out of place tho'.
• Primrose Vaults,Friday karaoke night good for a laugh
• The Dead Fly Rehearsal Rooms. Good times. The coldest building in the world which stunk of glue and whose toilet never worked. We loved the bandit and the hot chocolate machine. We loved Bun and Bri too. Where do the poor talentless kids in bands go now???!!!
• the vulcans karaoke on a friday night and chicago rock has quality basildon management skills - go on cock !
• Citadel - Not bad for it's collective nights. Also Johnny Vegas and Peter Kay are regular visitors :)
• THE CITADEL IS CRAP AND FULL OF NEW BREED WHO BATTER EACH OTHER FOR A LAUGH.
• THe citadel rocked when it was a grotty place for us 2 go watching the St Helens Musicians Collective, still good now, but atracts different crowds
• AHH THE CITADEL IS A GUD UN, WITH TOP BANDS PLAYING SUCH AS THE EVER INSANE TUFF ROCK DRAGONS . THEN THERES MSP, WINTER AND ALL THE OTHER " SEEN IT" BANDS YOU CAN DRINK BEER TO. NOW THAT THEY HAVE DONE IT ALL UP YOU FEEL AS THOUGH YOU ARE BEING PENALISED FOR THE OBLIGATORY VOMITING ON THE NEW MOSAIC FLOOR THAT THEY HAVE LAID. oTHER MUSIC PLACES ARE THE MARKET PLACE , BUT MAKE SURE THAT YOU BRING AN OXYGEN TANK WITH YOU. THE RAVEN, WHICH IS THE SMELLIEST, DISGUSTINGEST RIP OFF FOR A PUB IN ST HELENS, ONCE SOMEBODY DECIDED TO HAVE A BONFIRE ONE NEW YEARS EVE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CARPET.aND THATS YOUR LOT.

• citadel is the only true live venue in st helens.
• CITALEL NICE NOW AFTER REDEVELOPMENT.
• church square
• I've heard that the site of the old cinema will be a venue playing live music...
• Turk's Head - Cooper Street. A lighted oasis in a desert of wasteland and tiny Barratt Houses. Used to watch Eric Burke strut his stuff with the Swampstompers, standing in the crush by the bar getting high on other people's pot smoke.
• The Citadel, and sometimes the Raven. It's so sad when it's come to this - Little wonder I've moved to Crawley.
• THE CITADEL ROCKS!!!!!!!
• Burning tramps they are out there somewhere.
• The Phoenix isn't awful, neither is the Citadel but Liverpool is better for gigs.
• My bath room , the acoustics are in there!. Must be to make me sound good, I usually find the theme to `The love boat' goes down well.
• Citadel has good up and coming bands, has had many bands in the past who are now huge. You could see the next Oasis - or even someone with talent! Controversial, I think so.
• The Blackbull until the night of the long knives. circa 1985
• The Citadel is one of the premier small music venues in the North West. Bands who have played here before they were famous, include The Stone Roses and The Verve (who played many times). Intimate and great given a good band.
• The Pheonix pub on the way to McD's drive thru has some good bands playing every now and then. Although not the most aesthetically pleasing, the beer's cheap and the music is good.
• The Citadel - top bands from around the globe
• 9 below zero - once a year at the Citadel - not to be missed - and the bin man from St Helens who got up and sang "Mustang Sally" with them in 1997
• It has to be the Citadel. Watery beer, dodgy venue, permanent bad atmosphere - Bliss.
• The Windle Hotel in Hard Lane - Great Irish night one Monday a month
