The Nines... we are Cumbria's best and oldest Live music venue, in Barrow-in-Furness, South Cumbria.
We've been here since the 60's - honestly we have, ask yer Dad! - We've recently undergone a change of ownership and we've been comprehensively refurbished. We now boast a 1500sq foot dance floor, an Arena quality sound system, state of art digital lighting sytems and a truly inviting bar area, where you can fill yer boots!
We promote a rich gig-list of UK and international talent, recent acts include Ed Tudor, Hazel O'Connor, Tom Hingley, The Real Thing, Soho Dolls, The American Drifters, John Power, The Complete Stone Roses, Jon Byrne, The Fabulous Picasso Brothers, The Smiths Indeed, Shaughnessy...
We also host an alternative night each week for unsigned and emerging bands and singer/songwriters such as: Sevens, The Mooncats, Bikini Black Special, The Steeples, The North...
If you are interested in gigging at the Alternative get in touch: www.myspace.com/ninesthursdayalternative
We also do Private Hire in the main room and/or the downstairs bar, Bar 5. Upstairs can be configured so that you can have a VIP balcony providing access to a private bar if required, and we can provide catering for your event, whether its a regular pie & peas supper or a extensive Lakeland Salmon Buffet.
We've hosted birthday parties, modelling competitions, various charity do's, Sportsmans Dinners, Boxing Tournaments, Dance Troups, Spiritualists evenings (!), plus we had a band, Shaughnessy, come and record their promo video in The Nines coz they loved the venue so much!!
