The
Hive, Brentford FC, Braemar Road, Brentford (West London), TW8 0NT (formerly
Stripes Bar)
193 gigs since November 2002 and counting...
The Hive is
situated at Brentford Football Club in West London. We have
been putting on gigs since November 2002. Click here
to see who has performed at The Hive in the past.
We are dead chuffed
to have developed a hugely popular music venue in a part of London
which is starved of live music - London's best live music venue west of
the North Circular, no question. You can read what Drowned in Sound
thought of one of our gigs in 2005 here.
We have a capacity
of 180, and normally charge £5 admission, payable on the
door. On 'special occasions' tickets can be purchased in advance. Gigs
are normally on a Friday, with occasional exceptions. For £5
admission gigs, we also offer £3 admission to students on
production of a valid NUS card, to unemployed people on production of a
valid ES40 card, and FREE admission to under-16s accompanied by an
adult. Similar discounts apply for higher-priced gigs - see
specific details, below.
The gigs are all
benefits for Bees
United, a fans' organisation dedicated to securing the future
for Brentford FC, and which now owns the Club. None of the people
organising the gigs get any financial profit from doing so.
Artists get paid though, of course!
We hope to see you
at a gig in the future!
