A Gig Venue? What a friggin JOKE……. I could hold a better gig in my back bedroom……

For those of you who haven’t yet been, heres what your ‘missing out’ on….

- Once you step in, you feel like you’ve walked into your Nanas house with the RANK décor
- It smells like your Nanas House, just to add to the Oldie feeling
- The Seats look like they’ve been dragged out of a skip on Orchard Park with sponge seeping out of ‘em
- Go to a gig there and you’ll feel like your on the set of Byker Grove with a load of 14yr old ‘OWH im out on a school night!’ girls
- The Stage looks like something on a Gameshow from the 80’s with Gold Glitter Curtains…………..Please!

…………I genuinely feel sorry for bands that actually travel from afar to play at that place, it must be an absolute LET DOWN….. and we too should feel ashamed to have them play there, what if they think we all live like that?!?!

Downstairs…..

- Go down if you dare………… Its either full of Bikers singing, ‘I can be Your Hero’ on Kareoke, or full of Trannies (Obviously depends on what night you go)

I honestly cannot be in the Rankings as a gig venue, it aint a venue, its like stepping into another Relm………. Theres just something not right about the place, it DEFINITELY needs an update

hey, ringside gigs are ace!

Firstly, I would just like to introduce myself. I’m Wayne, the Landlord of Ringside.

May I point out that everyone is entitled to their opinion so I accept any comments, whether good or bad, about the Ringside.

I would like to say that our PA/speaker systems are probably one of the best in Hull. We actually had it installed by DJ Chippy who is running the “Bug” nights at the Zebra. It is a fantastic system but can only sound good if:

1. The bands are good
2. The sound technician is good
3. The crowd do not expect CD quality, as the bands are live (And better for it).

The system does do the bands justice and the majority are more than happy with what is used. Maybe you have been on a night when one of the above was lacking but that should be no reflection on The Ringside as a whole

Also, there are very few places in Hull who are not just cashing in on the “dance and RnB” crowed but are supplying a venue for local and national bands. The Ringside may be smaller than a lot of venues but at the end of the day, it is a good venue with a close proximate to places like Welly and The Lamp. I like to think that we (The Adelphi, Lamp and Welly) all work well together to provide an alternative catchment of pubs and clubs that are not dedicated to the usual mainstream music.

I will continue to provide a venue for all who want to play and will continue to make the place better with the right suggestions.

Thank You for your comments

the place is okay but its to small and the sound system doesnt do the bands any justice what so ever!
