What’s the empire
Yep got yaMusic venue isn’t it? Moved to the old JD Sports or whatever it was near the dog and trumpet. used to be on Far Gosford.
Hopefully Luke Skywalker and the rebels can come up with something better, doesn’t look promising
Fair play. Surprised with HMV apparently investing in proper shops as don't know many people these days who actually buy discs, it's all downloads or streaming.
Will be difficult to get tickets so may have to use the force your way in or Jedi mind trick the doorman.
Vinyl is having a massive resurgence. I believe cassette tapes are too.Fair play. Surprised with HMV apparently investing in proper shops as don't know many people these days who actually buy discs, it's all downloads or streaming.
I wouldnt put Jimmy carr and good comedians in the same sentence - but i guess its personal choiceWhether you like Sheeran or not that is a massive coup for The Empire and only a good thing for Cov!
I’ve got tickets for Jimmy Carr Sunday and looking forward to it!
Rialto also putting on a number of shows and some good comedians just hope they both get the support they deserve from the local population.
It is, when I was first wanting to go to gigs at the back end of the 90s it was always Birmingham or Wolverhampton to get to see the bands I liked. When things get a bit more like normality, we now have Warwick Uni, the Empire, the Kasbah, and the artist formally known as the Ricoh Arena to host the big names.Whether you like Sheeran or not that is a massive coup for The Empire and only a good thing for Cov!

Hope it's a success, picking it up and moving to the old abc cinema during the pandemic has taken balls, great to have a venue like this in Coventry
No it isn't. Some of us mature people have hundreds of CDs or vinyl discs already and expensive sound systems so why would we bother to stream or download? I'm very unlikely to want to.Fair play.

The 'arches' is reopening this Friday, by all accounts. I was having a tyre replaced down at Spon End the other day and decided to have a look whilst I was waiting - Some frantic sounds of building/refitting were going on from inside and I had a brief chat with the lad who has taken it over.It is, when I was first wanting to go to gigs at the back end of the 90s it was always Birmingham or Wolverhampton to get to see the bands I liked.

The old post office opposite would be a great place to open a bar, currently a chinese supermarket

202 vinyl sales were the highest they've been since the early 90sFair play. Surprised with HMV apparently investing in proper shops as don't know many people these days who actually buy discs, it's all downloads or streaming.
Understand that m8, I just don't actually know anyone who buys hard copies these days. Personally, for convenience, my small collection of old vinyal and tapes have been backed up to a cloud and it's easier to add to that virtual library and just use bluetooth to my car or home setup.No it isn't.

That's good, hopefully justifys HMV's investment, they won't be daft enough to start opening shops if there isn't a market.202 vinyl sales were the highest they've been since the early 90s
Fratelli's although it opened as a cafe now sells beer and does cocktails and I have seen them have DJ's outside and hopefully Catch 22 (the old Dog and Trumpet) opens back up as supposedly the Latin night was attracting people from all around the Midlands, although supposedly it was predominantly aimed at students as told to me by a Portuguese student as if to warn me off!!Should encourage more bars etc to open up around that area. Fuck all on that street at the moment so there’s room for it.

I'd still rather go to the dentist.Ed Sheeran is one of the biggest artists on the planet. Not many bigger pulls.
I have somewhere north of 2000 discs (slightly more CDs than LPs nowadays) and, being an old fart, continue to buy them.Understand that m8, I just don't actually know anyone who buys hard copies these days.

I absolutely get the point that there are people who really love the fact you can touch and display the physical item, whilst having a rig to appreciate the analogue sound. Perhaps I'm too mature - my ears aren't as good as they used to be to appreciate the range of frequencies lol.
Ha. I still have a VCR (DVD combination) and a bunch of tapes. Admittedly it lives in a cardboard box in the garage nowadays. Running when parked...Went to see Jimmy Carr there last night. He was very good. They’ve done an excellent job turning it into a nice venue. Something the City Centre has needed for a long time.
With regards to DVDs, CDs and vinyls they’re not for me. Got every track and film I’d ever want in the palm of my hand for very little cost each month. I don’t know where we’d store it all if it we had the physical copies. When we were on holiday a couple of years ago a videographer tried to sell us a DVD of an excursion and was about buy but then it occurred to me then that we didn’t have anything with a diskdrive and hadn’t for a few years before that. I was under the impression that that was the norm now.
