You'll hear loads of new music and plenty of bands/artists getting their first radio play, interviews and sessions too, alongside the better known. It's presented by Richard Pitt and Gary Smith. They have two shows on at the weekend. There should be more local radio like this.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18305 Thekla http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17803 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17803 Bardens Boudoir http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17799 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17799 Fibbers http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17798
While we're at it: catch the Tivoli in Utrecht, NL, before it disappears! (Zeche, Bochum, D, is probably Europe's finest: it's got everything.)]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17798 The Reading Rooms Dundee http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17779 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17779 Rock City http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17737 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17737 Union Chapel, Islington http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17701 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17701 Nation, Liverpool http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17681 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17681 Paard van Troje http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17508 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17508 Keeping up with events http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17439 club news, restaurants, etc. And of course, pick up this expat magazine when you are in town.
