Venues on the Isle of Wight

[coasterbass]

Hi,

We've got a wedding gig booked for the IOW later this year, and I was thinking about getting us a pub/bar gig whilst we're over there.
Does anyone know of any bars or pubs that might be interested in booking a rock/pop covers band for a nights entertainment?

Cheers

there are a couple of holiday camp type places that might be interested in a band, I stayed at one once when I was playing at a festival there, there was a social club for the residents (think holiday version of a WMC)
The one we were in was in Yarmouth (can't remember the name sorry) if you google it you'll probably find summat.

Edit:
just remembered there are also lots of sailing clubs in Cowes some of them put music on sometimes.

Thanks for that Jake

One of my mates is from the Isle of Wight and used to gig quite a bit when she lived there, I'll see if she knows of anywhere next time I see her.

Right then, apparently the Studio and the Squadron are your best bets, I think both are in Ryde but I'm not sure.

Thats fantastic! Thanks very much for that.
