THE COMEDY is a superb venue in the very heart of London - squeezed in between Piccadilly Circus and Leicester Sq. It is a medium sized basement club and with a great sound system, stage and lights it has now become known as one of the few great places to play for bands in central London. This venue has recently hosted gigs for Art Brut, Neils Children, The Bishops, David Viner, James Morrison and The Maccabees.

THE BUFFALO BAR is situated outside the entrance to Highbury and Islington tube station opposite The Garage. This basement venue is like a mini-Metro Club, gets quickly packed out and has a really great vibe. The Electric Soft Parade, The Libertines and The Thrills have all performed secret gigs there. It also has a late license. This place really rocks.
