space. (Space WLV) occupies the historic former Express & Star building on Castle Street in Wolverhampton city centre, serving artisanal coffee and bagels by day before transforming into a vibrant venue for live music, comedy and conversation by night. It's the home of Sunday Best's premier live-band open mic, NO.WAVs, which pairs grassroots artists with a professional house band, and its music offering spans country and house to jazz and disco. With a full backline and PA installed (a Wharfedale Pro audio fit-out), it's a genuinely equipped, welcoming room for emerging performers playing originals and covers in the heart of the city.
