The rooms. Among the 11 rooms with a listed capacity, the middle one holds about 120 and 6 hold under 150; the largest listed is The Roses Theatre at 300.

What they book. In what Cheltenham venues say they book, acoustic, covers and folk come up most often, out of 26 genres listed. The acts that fit pitch best with a recent clip and a clear fee. 9 of these listings were added or re-checked in the last month.

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