The Local Music Scene in Redruth, Cornwall*

Redruth, Cornwall Record Shops and Venues

Record Shops

• second spin is quite a good music shop... good for V.cheap vinyl but be prepared to get on your knees and wade through boxes housing "Timeless Classics"!!!!
• theres a really cool one which sells really hard rock, which is alot better than most music(personally) and offers more vareity than most conventional 'popular' music shops!
• Our Price(it's a small town!)
• olivers in fore street keeps a good selection for all tastes

Clubs (Dance Music) and Music Bars

• The Crow was the best pub around but they changed it, modernised it and now it's shut down as it lost it's appeal. Used to get packed. Bring back the crow!!!
• The Twilight Zone - I'm not exactly the oldest person, but I have to say the people I've seen there must have really good plastic surgeons - feels like I'm surrounded by a load of 'fresh faced' 15 years olds!!
• There's the twilight zone, where a lot of drinking and throwing up goes on. Relatively easy to get into-thick bouncers who dont know real from fake if u know wot I mean(no not boobs!).
• Twilight-every friday, only problem? no one goes n e more, however dance acts such as pied piper and moose T (who?)have appeared there!
• the twlight is good. it can be a bit cheesy but its definatly better than the berkely. thurs nite is student nite and is all dance music, drinks promos also, fri nits are my fave, £1 any drink and its a 70tys and 80tys nite(although more of the 70tys)and saturdays is a bit of every thing but if u dont like partying with teenyboppers, aviod it in on a sat.
• My Auntie's old house or Cambourne.
• paradox is in falmoth, not redruth, and is crap
• The Penventon Hotel is the most popular place to hang out on those balmy cornish evenings and hear some thumping music. Personally I hate the place.
• Paradox is ok and not to bothered if youre under 18, the rest ate CRAP
• the only one is the twilight zone but that is strictly for the teeny boppers, if you're over 15 forget it
• VERY GOOD night Club "The TWILIGHT ZONE" - usually only 2 or 2.50 to get in before 22:00. Great Atmosphere, on Thursday/Saturday nights... Next to the Penventon Hotel ( 3* ). Also open Friday, with some other openings too ( Wed - teens night ).

Live Music Venues

• Boho aka The Green Room, has now become a pool hall.
• The green room is a relitively new pub, formerly the Boho, and they have Live alternative music/djs on friday nights, Hip hop djs on saturday and lots of other stuff going on in the week. Drinks are fairly cheap. Also theres a massive garden where you can chill and if youre lucky there might be A BARBIE QUE ON! what fun!
• the crow bar is brilliant... great if tiny mosh pit. fab atmosphere, v. friendly, and loads of live music.
• My Auntie's house again.

The Knowhere Guide started out as a list of places to skateboard in the UK. It is a compilation of (unedited) information and views supplied by users like yourself. It is not a conventional tourist guide!

In most cases, the information in each section has been submitted by more than one contributor (the credits at the bottom of the page list some, but not all, of the contributors) and some of it dates back to the 1970s.

We make no claims as to the accuracy of the information in the Guide - our only purpose is to provide a forum for users to share their knowledge and opinions. So please keep a large bag of salt handy and be prepared to read between the lines!

If you disagree with a comment, or information is out of date, please submit an update! The contributors come from all walks of life, and their opinions are bound to be subjective, so if your view isn't represented, please speak up and contribute to the balance of the Guide. See below in the 'Have Your Say' section for how to add your voice.

If we have helped you out or made you laugh you can buy us a pint.
