agree 100% with soultown andys comments, as with the NW being a hot spot for venues yes it is,but also the East Midds.and Yorkshire have alot of well attended events,and it is expensive now if your travelling any distance,but where theres a will theres a way !! Like us old gits got Wigan-Euston London for £24 rtn so we can go 100 club,!!! just be interesting to see where it all goes in the years to come,would be nice to keep this music going.
