Leicester Live Music Venues

The Kings Head on Granby St used to have a room at the back with bands on.
And the Town Arms on Pock Walk had bands (mainly jazz, I think) upstairs at the back. Spilt a pint over Sebastian Coe in there in about '82.
 
Downstairs in the VAULTS , Wellington St. Sunday nights saw some good blues and rock bands in there. Had to shut down when the owners of the building wanted to turn the place into a late night bar or something like that. Didn't last long.
The VAULTS started up again around the corner in King St but wasn't the same and fell by the wayside sadly.

Was a regular visitor to the MUSICIAN in Slater St after that.
 
Saw a fair few bands at Leicester Uni,Led Zep,Lou Reed,Mott The Hoople,The Faces,Ten Years After are some I remember plus Rory Gallagher at the Poly a few times,happy days.

I went to the Uni to see Alvin Lee who cancelled mid-afternoon, I think was on another planet.
