The best band in Accrington are The Citizen Band, as their recent sell out gigs at the Attic have proved. If you want to go and watch live music there's always quality live bands on at the Attic, Warner Street. There's a good atmosphere and they play 'real' music, none of the disco cack that is favoured by every other town centre pub. Give it a try

[northwestbands]

Try www.northwestbands.co.uk - lots of local bands and gig listings

Try the Stanley Street Club on Saturday nights. They also have a Jam night on Mondays!

[northwestbands]

Sounds like a good night!

Must get down there.

Do you have to book a slot for the jam night, or just turn up on the night?

[Taggy]

Nope you just turn up on the night everyone is made to feel very welcome.

[northwestbands]

Brill!! - I might make an appearance next monday. Do they have a proper PA, or is it ACOUSTIC, acoustic.

What kinda of stuff do you play?

[Taggy]

Dont play myself but a few of me mates do. They have a full PA but of course you are welcome to play Acoustic too! All music is played but main ly Blues and Rock. A lot of them are the same lot who used to Jam at the Royal in Great Harwood and also Rhythm Station too. Good mixture of ages too. Burt the bass guitarist is usually there most people in area will probably know him, and Les Walker too who now also has a band called Snatchinitback! Me I just empty Karaoke Bars I'm afraid!!

Hi Everyone! I have come across quite a few rock bands locally that are quality. Theres Salacious who are a rock band with an awesome female singer, The Rising who are an alternative/indie band who are quality, Scarlett Marshalls as well if nobodys heard of any of them check out myspace. I saw a poster for Salacious who are playing at Snuffy's in Gt Harwood next Sunday afternoon. Its well worth checking them out! There website is <a href="www.salaciousband.co.uk"> www.salaciouband.co.uk</a>.

Hope this helps you all out.

surprised no-ones mentioned the accy rockers?

Have you been to The Attic in Accrington - they have lots of top bands on every Saturday night.

You could always try the Attic... think they have local bands on fairly regularly. There's also the Independent which runs one Friday a month at the Cellar Bar in Blackburn and twice a month (Thursdays) at the Evolution Lounge (used to be The Works), Northgate, Blackburn.

I think King St in Accy sometimes put bands on... played there once filling in for another band who pulled out, but not sure if that was a one-off.

There also used to be jam nights - open to anyone - at Barzooka in Blackburn. Ian H used to run them, but not sure if it's still going on.
