The Colin Campbell<\/b> (now called the The Phoenix)<\/b> has long been a music venue – in the function room upstairs. In 1970, upstairs ‘The Village’ ran at the weekends with progressive or heavy bands on a Friday night and Saturday night and progressive disco on a Monday night. One of the DJ’s was Malvin Preece<\/b> who I had first met at the Umbrella Club. <\/b>The Village<\/i> continued to the mid 70’s and between 1973 – 75 we advertised the Village in Hobo Magazine<\/b>. In 1970 the Broadgate Gnome<\/b> had run an ad for them.<\/p>\n

The Lanchester Poly<\/b> (now Coventry University<\/i>) used the room for lunch time events during the Lanchester Arts Festivals during the early 70’s – I recall a poetry reading featuring local and student poets with Adrian Mitchell<\/b> guesting. The venue was used during the punk and Two Tone<\/b> period and in 1981 there was folk club<\/i> running there. More recently both contemporary acoustic artists, Kristy Gallacher<\/b> and Emma Mcgann<\/b> have run regular acoustic events there. Emma’s venue is called Songbird<\/i>.
