The Assembly
Popped into Leamington Spa’s been-about-to-open-for-ages venue, the Assembly, at lunchtime to buy some tickets for Henry Rollins, who is playing the opening night in a couple of weeks and was treated to a sneak peek at the inside of the venue. I have to say they’ve done a really good job.
It’s a massive (1000 capacity apparently) venue, with a proper stage, dancefloor, several bars and a mezzanine-style viewing platform and has been really nicely done out. The backstage area looks like it’s going to be well-appointed too (including Tammy Wynette’s trailer as the main band dressing room), which can only help get the acts in. Hopefully it’ll do well - too few dedicated venues are being built around here nowadays. The focus seems to mainly be on clubs or pubs that occasionally put bands on, which generally have accordingly awful sound. It will be interesting to see what it’s like when it’s finished and full of punters, but so far, the signs look very promising.
