Not sure there's much in this. Ruane (iirc) just said the venues like The Empire are welcome but that the city needs a larger music venue in the city centre, something like Wolves Civic Hall, which seems a pretty fair statement to me.
it's needed one for years but it needs smaller venues too. The councils track record for encouraging any sort of independent venture in any sector is appalling.
We need a multi-purpose venue in the city centre which could host 5000 capacity events. Having concerts of that size significantly improves footfall.

SkyDome is 4K but they only have about 1 gig a year! The facilities are there the promoters need to work on getting gigs booked. If the council and / or city of culture can help with that then great.Sky dome can’t be too far off that is it ?

I think the problem with that is the practicality. I bet it takes ages for it to bebturned into a music venue from it's usual purpose.

The Ricoh exhibition hall has been a huge let down really. Struggles to attract artists.
Bring back the General Wolfe. Great venue and had some great nights there. Should never have closed !
