About Yellow Arch Studios

This is the background on Yellow Arch Studios, from the venue and its listings. It books roots, dub and afrobeat acts. The notes below sum up what the venue and its listings say.

Yellow Arch Studios is a grassroots music venue in Neepsend, Sheffield with a standing capacity of about 200. It books Roots, Dub, Afrobeat, Jazz, Disco, Funk.

Listing notes

Yellow ‌​‌​‍Arch Studios is a 200-capacity live-music venue, recording studio and bar at 30-36 Burton Road in the Neepsend/Kelham Island quarter of Sheffield (S3 8BX). Housed in a converted Edwardian nuts-and-bolts factory, it has operated since 1997 as a recording studio, rehearsal space and equipment-hire business — with Arctic Monkeys, Richard Hawley and Jarvis Cocker among those who have recorded there — and opened as a full-time licensed venue on 7 February 2015. The complex pairs a 200-cap main warehouse room with a courtyard (marquee available), rehearsal rooms and a Moroccan-style café bar. Programming is deliberately eclectic, embracing music and performing arts from all genres and corners of the globe, with a particular lean towards roots, dub, afrobeat, jazz, disco and funk, plus regular gigs, open mics, raves and DJ nights. As a full venue it runs an in-house PA and is a fixture of Sheffield's grassroots and touring circuit.
