Brief History: Originally built in 1904 and used as a dance hall throughout the roaring twenties, Bush Hall enjoyed multiple lives as a war-time soup kitchen, bingo hall, rehearsal space in the 50’s/60’s, and an 80’s snooker den until it was restored to its former Edwardian glory by its current owners 15 years ago. Since then it has been a successful independent music venue.

Personal Experience: My first experience of Bush Hall was seeing (Feeder front-man) Grant Nicholas playing tracks from his debut solo album in 2015.

Notable Acts Played There: Amy Winehouse, Panic At The Disco, Lisa Marie Presley, Suede, The Killers, Courtney Love, REM and Boy George.
