The rooms. Among the 15 rooms with a listed capacity, the middle one holds about 100 and 9 hold under 150; the largest listed is Cheese & Grain at 835. They are spread across 17 areas, led by Frome (3), Widcombe (2) and 14 Westgate St (1).

What they book. Folk, acoustic and jazz come up most often in what Bath venues say they book, out of 26 genres listed. An act that fits pitches best with a recent clip and a clear fee. 7 of these listings were added or re-checked in the last month.

Next steps. The Bath gig directory shows which of these rooms are booking now; the Bath open mics are where new acts get stage time, and the GX Index sets out the going rates. Hiring acts for one? See live music for pubs, clubs and hotels.
