Is Halifax Finally Catching Up With The Rest Of The World?...

Blimmin' eck! - we're into February already and for a change there's actually something happening in Halifax!

For a starter, there's 2 new venues up and running on our drinking circuit, and the music is not your stereotypical pop/rnb/electro bandwagon policy, hurray!!

Another major plus for Halifax is that both venues are independently owned - which means a couple of things:

1: More flexibility for the music range (no stupid music policies for DJ and customers to worry about)

2: More nights!! - something Halifax has been missing for a while - I know there's a couple already (Lush/Biscuitbar11 etc.) but now there's more than half a dozen in Halifax on a regular basis every month.

Now all this is going on, we should start seeing more people from out of town visiting us again, which means no more fierce competition between the venues fighting over our locals, bars can start tightening up their admission policies and we can get rid of the last remaining troublemakers.

Either way, I reckon we'll all benefit from this outcome.

These bars also fill in that horrible 'no mans land' in the centre of town where no-one dare walk, so hopefully town will be a lot safer.

If everything keeps running the way it is at the moment, we should hopefully have a cracking summer!

I'm looking forward to it already.
