As has already been said there are loads of venues in the West and East Midlands, some good and some not so good.
Out of the nighters I have tried Lifeline, Rugby and Bidds are all good.
Soul night's I have visited and rate include The Attic, Sunflower Lounge, USOS, Bentinck, The Modern Room and our own Select Soul night at The Craythorne.
All promotors push their own venues as quality nights but I find the best thing is to look in lookbacks and see what the punters say. We have been lucky enough to have had some of the countrys top DJ's say some very nice things about our night
