We went to The Brook last night to see Maybe Winehouse.

The Brook is a small, live music venue in Southampton with a few chairs and tables but mostly it’s standing. Before becoming a live music venue it was a regular pub so you can perhaps picture that it’s a bit cramped inside but that’s what gives it atmosphere, wherever you are you can’t be further than about 15m from the stage! That’s on the lower level, the upstairs balcony area is a bit more organised. I used to go there quite a lot but haven’t been for a few years. It’s mainly local groups and tribute bands like Maybe Winehouse who appear there but sometimes there are big names as well when, for example, The SAS Band appear. I’d forgotten how good the place is, will be going back again soon.
