Bournemouth and Poole

Live Music

The area is well served when it comes to live entertainment, and boasts some fine live music venues, from the Lighthouse and BIC, to more intimate venues such as Mr Kyps in Poole.

There is also a thriving pub music circuit (although the new licensing hours seem to have had a negative effect). Of particular interest is the Green Room in the Portman Hotel (Bournemouth) which strives to give young talent and established bands a showcase, and the Lord Nelson on Poole quay, well known for its Sunday afternoon and evening bashes, and Wednesday evenings in the summer.

The Malt 'n Hops can be relied on for good rock bands and the Grange Southbourne have dancing to live music most Fridays and Saturdays throughout the year.

And there's no shortage of local talent either (witness the number of music shops in the conurbation).
