All Live Music Nights are CANCELLED until further notice.
This is due to the lack of response and turn-out of punters coming to watch the bands we've had the pleasure of hosting over the last 3 months.
I'd like to thank all of the bands, artists and musicians that have played for us - you've all been great and I, for one, have enjoyed every minute of your music and your company. All the acts that have played here have been friendly and talented and deserved more from the people of Chelmsford.
It's just a shame that the locals weren't sufficiently interested to make the effort to join us in the fun we had, and that's through no fault of the bands themselves, who have gone to great lengths only to be let down by their fans. Shame on you for letting Chelmsford's inherant apathy win the day!
Anyway, live music is no longer taking place at The Venue, but this page will remain in tact so that the bands who have played for us will still get a little bit of extra coverage. But, for now, let's keep our fingers crossed for a change of heart. Don't delete us from your friends list as there's still the possibility of some other event or entertainment coming along to save the day, so, if anything changes regarding the current situation, it will definitely be broadcast from this page.
Hi! And WELCOME! This is the page where you can find out all the details about what's going on, who's playing and when it's all kicking off at Chelmsford's brand new place for live music, The Venue.
The Venue is situated in the bar of the Chelmsford City Football Club, Chelmsford Sport & Athletic Centre, just on the edge of Melbourne Park, off Salerno Way. It's pretty easy to get to and, when you do, you'll see just how impressive a venue it is.
On the 2nd Friday of every month (well, technically the 15th of August is the 3rd Friday, but let's not quibble...) we'll be hosting some of the best live acts in and around the local area.
An average night should run something like this:
From 7pm, when the bar opens, until it closes at midnight, there will be special low price on Fosters and Green King IPA (Chilled), only £2 a pint!!! You'll have a little while to chill out until the first act takes to the stage at around 8:00pm. Act 2 will follow at 8:45, followed by our 3rd act at 9:30 and our headliners will grace the stage at about 10:30, topping the evening off and giving you just enough time to relax and finish your drinks.
This site will be updated regularly with info and links to bands, gig photos, blogs, videos, music and as much as we can get on here to make your experience of The Venue one to remember.
If you have any suggestions for our page or there are any acts you'd like us to book (of if there are any bands out there who would like the chance to play), please don't hesitate to get in touch.
We hope you enjoy our page and we'll look forward to seeing you at The Venue.
