Wolverhampton Civic Hall

Due to a lack of good medium-sized venues in Birmingham, the vast majority of bands that aren't big enough for the NEC will stop off at Wolverhampton's Civic Hall. Adjacent to the smaller Wulfrun Hall, it is a pleasure attending because the acoustics are considerably better than those of venues built in recent times. The hall also houses the Civic Hall Bar, a place more for music than drinking. Wolverhampton is only 20 minutes on the train from New Street, and the Civic Hall is a further five minutes' walk once you're there. Check the music or local press for details of forthcoming acts.
