bassbora Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 I am in a classic and modern rock covers band and we have been playing all over Scotland but mostly central/Fife/Perthshire areas. We have been playing for 5 or 6 years but have not played much in Glasgow or Edinburgh. Could you guys recommend any pubs/venues in these cities? We have played Whistle Binkies few times.

HengistPod Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Dunno. Perhaps you could recommend some gigs in Perthshire and Fife though, along with what sort of cash you're likely to get at them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wooks79 Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Bannermans in Edinburgh is a great venue and has always been a pleasure to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcnach Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 [quote name='Wooks79' timestamp='1479482909' post='3176926'] Bannermans in Edinburgh is a great venue and has always been a pleasure to play. [/quote] it's a bit of a dive, but with a cool personality In addition check out Banshee's Labyrinth just around the corner from Bannermans. Small but it would be suitable. Opium too. You can also try Stramash. Same people as Whistle Binkies and same kind of deal, but the venue is a lot more interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassbora Posted November 21, 2016 Author Share Posted November 21, 2016 Cheers guys I will get the guy who usually handles the booking this info. As for Perth then Twa Tams is great and Green Room is quite lively these days. I have played a bit less in Fife but we played Duchess of Kirkcaldy the other day and I thought that was a good venue. Dundee has few places but I have played there less. I think its McDaniels which is ok. Pay is usually around £250 it can be from £200 to £350.

Leen2112 Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 PJ Molloys and Monty's in Dunfermline do a lot of rock but their on the small side, and no idea about pay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raymondo Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 My favourite place when I used to "half live" in Edinburgh was the Barony Bar on broughton st. Not a very big pub but the standard of the bands was awesome. http://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/The+Barony+Bar,+81-85+Broughton+St,+Edinburgh+EH1+3RJ/@55.9580843,-3.1912387,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x4887c78c528167fd:0x6054862230ca5a62!8m2!3d55.9580656!4d-3.1890797 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
