Plug Sheffield - Live Music Venue and Nightclub

Guillemots

Event Date	Sunday, 16 November 2008
Review by	John Murphy

Trust Guillemots to do something a bit different. Their two albums so far have shown them to be miles away from run of the mill indie bands, mixing pop, disco and even samba rhythms, and for their Fishbone For A...

Event Date	Thursday, 16 October 2008
Review by	Jude Rogers

Hip hop hero puts down roots! On his adopted home turf of Sheffield, rap pioneer Roots Manuva delivers a bold and moving set...

Event Date	Saturday, 27 September 2008
Review by	Sean Bruce

To celebrate their 3rd birthday Plug has assembled a great line up of localtalent to make the sold out party a memorable one.

White Denim

Event Date	Wednesday, 02 July 2008
Review by	Ruth Offord

This year, dirty American rock is definitely in. The Black Lips, Fucked Up, Pissed Jeans et al comprise a simply-edited list of White Denim's contemporaries, yet as this group bound onto the stage they appear to be a much more

Mystery Jets Review

Event Date	Tuesday, 22 April 2008
Review by	Alex Rucki

So the cowbells and dustbin lids have been replaced by synthesisers and keyboards, but it makes no difference, the Mystery Jets have secured a place in my heart despite their change in sound.

Paddy Orange ( Supporting The Go! Team )

Event Date	Thursday, 06 March 2008
Review by	Lola Cube of The Alternative Hour Radio Show

The Paddy Orange Project The Paddy Orange Project kick off theThursday night proceedings with a pick n' mix paperbag filled to thebrim and ripping at the seams of rap, funk, electro, rock and soul.Much like comic book artist Phlegms wall designs,...

Joe Bonamassa

Event Date	Sunday, 24 February 2008
Review by	http://rockgig.blogspot.com

A new experience for me, not only had I not seen Joe play before but it was also my first "true blues" event. The original plan was to see his show in Leeds, but this sold out before I got tickets....

Glasvegas

Event Date	Saturday, 26 January 2008
Review by	Dom Gourlay

An hour before the doors are due to open DiS spots a group of about six people huddled together under a makeshift blanket. They've obviously been there a while, too, fending off the perishing cold best they can. Nothing new...

New Young Pony Club & Foals

Event Date	Tuesday, 11 December 2007
Review by	Taras Binns

It's an explosive sparking synth start to proceedings by Foals, second on a bill headed by New Young Pony Club, Liars and Hot Chip DJs - grouped close together as they sway from side to side, giving the air a...

Bring Me The Horizon

Event Date	Sunday, 09 December 2007
Review by	Hollie Cartwright

This and an eventful set - including a Slipknot cover; a naked stage diver; and a wall of death - took this from a great gig to an absolutely outstanding gig.

Bedouin Soundclash Review

Event Date	Wednesday, 07 November 2007
Review by	Ben Hayes - Shef Base

The atmosphere from the off was great, with a lovely appreciation between fans and band alike, there was even a crack about being from the north of their country, and knowing how folks get more friendly the more north you...

Detonate review Hot

Event Date	Friday, 19 October 2007
Review by	Maxwell Kusi-Obodum

SHY FX was the star of the show at The Plug, Matilda Street as Detonate, the monthly drum and bass night returned for a second event.

Foals Review

Event Date	Wednesday, 10 October 2007
Review by	Ben Hayes

One thing I didn't expect from FOALS tonight was the intro - Greek Sing-a-long, which, to me, sounded like Benedictine monks at a rave. So that was nice, and it shook you up a little, which is what this band does. Send them...

Charlotte Hatherley Review

Event Date	Tuesday, 09 October 2007
Review by	Amie Trewin

FAIRY LIGHTS, two accompanying guitarists and a bottle of JD were all that Hatherley needed to impress at Sheffield’s plug last Tuesday.

Architecture In Helsinki Review

Event Date	Tuesday, 11 September 2007
Review by	Ruth Offord

Tonight's line up is an independent music fans dream. Forget the'indie' world with its chart hits, bland rhythms and product placingattitude, this isn't the indie music you expect to be brandishing frontcovers of magazines. It's the music you stand by,...

Patti Smith Review

Event Date	Thursday, 24 May 2007
Review by	Danielle Millea

The place is rammed full of people who probably were about when Patti was first coming into the spotlight (unlike this reviewer). A thin figure in tight jeans, big black suit jacket and “a t-shirt bought from Debenams”, her features...

I Say Marvin & The Hosts

Event Date	Tuesday, 08 May 2007
Review by	Kate Parkin

Dressed in rather funereal attire Sheffield's own The Hosts get things started. Formed out of the ashes of 90s indie troopers Hoggboy, they have a fair few fans in the audience, including local legend Richard Hawley sporting his trademark quiff....

Idlewild

Event Date	Wednesday, 29 November 2006
Review by	Nick Pickles

It's been almost a year-and-a-half since Idlewild played live before this tour, an intimate club jaunt to showcase new material from upcoming sixth full length offering due next year. Opening with Roseability, the band tear into the set at full throttle...

The Gossip

Event Date	Monday, 06 November 2006
Review by	Rob Webb

This is the last date of their club tour and though she's tired tonight, the only way we know is because she keeps on telling us between swigs of Red Bull ("it gives you wings", one audience member helpfully points...
