Rayman Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Hi all, We're after organizing a show case gig at a London venue. Original heavy rock: www.crisis-rock.co.uk Anyone got any suggestions for somewhere central ish to approach? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 (edited) Haven't played there for a few years but the Underworld in Camden certainly used to be a focal point for the heavy rock/metal/thrash scene Also could try The Purple Turtle in Camden?

danthevan Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Dunno if it's still going (been a heck of a long time!) but there used to be a venue on the cromwell road. Was called the Orange, but later changed to West One Four. Probably a sainsbury's or something now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turtle Something or Something Carrot springs to mind. It's now called Black Velvet, see [url="http://www.blackvelvetlondon.co.uk/"]http://www.blackvelvetlondon.co.uk/[/url]. It's on North End Road which connects Cromwell Road to Hammersmith Road. I played there in 199-something when it was still the Orange. A good venue but the load in is up a flight of stairs that turns a corner mid-way up, ouch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danthevan Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 And the rest. I used to roadie for a band probably nearly 16 years ago when it was the Orange, and the last one I done it had changed names so probably 14 years! The staircase was a right pig, quite wide though so a 2 man carry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
