Head of Steam

Live music is very important to us at the Cluny. It is fundamental to the soul of the outlet. It is now recognised as one of the most important venues for breaking bands in the region and a natural outlet for mid-range, underground national and international touring bands – and that understanding will grow even stronger this year.

We recently installed a fantastic new sound system with 48 channel desk and top of range Yamaha amps and cracking speakers. Sound quality is magnificent and bands love playing here.

We have a wide spectrum of musical style, with an emphasis on modern breaking bands, but we also have a strong, established jazz club, ‘Schmazz’ and the Cluny is the home of ‘Jumpin' Hot Club’ (www.jumpinhot.com) the city’s rock ‘n’ roll masterpieces. We also host the majority of gigs presented by Canny Gigs (www.cannygigs.com).

If you are interested in music, keep your eye on this slot! Get your tickets quick. We work hard to showcase lots of new and established bands from the region and around the country - infact, around the world. Check out everything that's happening in the region on Generator's website

We have had a major building job completed this year, to remove the huge brick arches which made sound quality and sight lines not perfect from the raised area. The situation is now much much better.

There are also 2 new ladies toilets in the venue right next to the new emergency exit doors, by the main doors in.

We have also had a new ventilation system installed which has made the atmosphere much more pleasant and less sweaty.

We've also had a new lighting scheme installed, but that doesn't affect the sounds!!
