12 Bar Club

The 12 Bar Club is a hot bed of talent on Denmark Street. Denmark Street has been known as Tin Pan Alley for a long ole time... There are music businesses and shops all down the street.

Anyway, 12 Bar... let me warn you, it's GRUNGY! Your feet stick to the floor. The stage is tiny and if you stand in front of the band you can't see their heads because of the low ceiling of the balcony above. So the tip is - follow the stairs up to the balcony and you get the best view.

New bands and promising unknowns play there and sometimes the place if full of music business people supporting the next prodigy. The audience tends to be friends and promoters of the band. Some people go there just to hang out in the bar and have a meal. I think it normally costs about 5 to get in.

Worth just dropping in if you're with a friend looking for something to do. It could be very quiet with only 10 people in the audience or it could be a mad crush 'secret' star performance.
