The rooms. Of the 10 rooms with a listed capacity, the middle one holds about 100 and 6 hold under 150; the largest listed is Roadmender at 850.

What they book. Rock, acoustic and folk come up most often in what Northampton venues say they book, out of 26 genres listed. The acts that fit pitch 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 Northampton gig directory shows which of these rooms are booking now, the Northampton open mics are where new acts get stage time, and the GX Index sets out the going rates. Need an act for one? See live music for pubs, clubs and hotels.
