Sheffield Carling Academy

So it seems that a new Carling Academy is opening in Sheffield, and I think this is great news. Sheffield has an abundance of smaller music venues and a few mid-sized ones like Corporation and The Leadmill, but the city sometimes misses out on some of the bigger bands who play at the Carling Academies elsewhere in the UK. It looks like the first gig is Reverend And The Makers on the 11th April, which I'm not too interested in, but hopefully there'll be some good gigs coming up in the near future.

Also, I think it's a great use of the former Roxy Nightclub building, which has been derelict for as long as I can remember, but is in a great location. I hear that bands such as The Jam and The Police used to play there, so it's cool that the venue is being resurrected in this way.
