Please note that the list opposite is not exhaustive but represents venues we've both enjoyed playing at and have pictures for! For a full list of venues click on the Venue List link.

Club gigs booked by CMEAS are typically medium sized venues that are part of the national circuit. Typically, clubs do not offer guarantees but reimburse the acts they book through profit share or a percentage of the door receipts. Just like the pubs that CMEAS books the clubs are run by friendly live music loving independent bookers and promoters and some may be supported by the British Arts Councils. We typically add at least one new club each time we run an event. Where we have a photo, the clubs listed opposite represent venues that have hosted CMEAS participants in the past. Some have booked single acts and not the whole showcase. Information can be found on the venue's web site (click on the image or thumbnail) or by clicking on the Venue List link.
