RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 (edited) Howdy! Could anyone advise me of any venues in the above areas or similar? I'm playing in a Rock covers band. We have cd, business cards etc. It seems like the Grey horse in kingston is the only one we can find at the mo' , but we need others . Unfortunately ,I don't drive but can easily get to Richmond,Teddington . (will try the red lion in Twickenham ,once we've got 1st gig with present line up out of the way) Any phone nos.'links would be much appreciated. Cheers RATM Edited December 6, 2009 by RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clauster Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 was going to suggest the Grey Horse. The same guy also puts on bands up at the Kings Head in Acton - bigger venue, but you do have to lug your kit up a fire escape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're not too keen on him. He just wants to line his pockets. He doesn't really like the idea of paying people . Even if 1 man and his dog are watching , he'll charge a fiver or something. Mr. Drums had problems like this with him in his other band Any other venues anybody Edited December 9, 2009 by RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alun Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 The Peel in Kingston is great but not sure if they do covers or just touring stuff. Worth a go though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musky Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 You can always trawl myspace/the web for other rock covers bands operating in the SW London area and see where they're playing. It doesn't actually mean that the venues are any good, but you can always solicit opinions on the venues once you have the names. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lee4 Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Try The Star in Guildford.You would have to hire the room(not sure if they have a PA),but you could make the monety back on ticket sales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
