What do you think about gigs in Rockers?

Good wee place.
If you get in on a night with a decent band playing it can be jumping.
Saw GUN there in July and it was ROCKIN!

For me, this is probably my favourite venue in Glasgow despite only being there once.

The live sound is simply awesome - they've got in house engineers that know what they're doing and get a great sound. Oh aye, and the folk that run the place are actually nice

but you kind of expect that from a little place like that.

theme for tonights Radio Scotland 'Get It On' show is favourite venues - I've e mailed them suggesting Rockers, saw La Paz there in February and thought it was a great venue. Its probably a bit late for anyone to second my proposal but if you see this in time it wouldn't do any harm to e mail

Saw Gun there too and its a fab venue. Small but the atmosphere when its filled is superb. Sounds great for a small place too.

Unfortunately, I don't know many people who do?

While it's commendable to attempt to promote so many bands, the overall quality of the acts puts a lot of people off.

IMO not much to recommend it!

It's a classic example of a venue trying too hard!

Unfortunately, quantity and quality are two completely different things.

It might be OK for people who don't have to travel too far but very few others make the effort!

Saw Gun there and the place was heaving, great atmosphere, not sure what it would be like with lesser known acts though...
