Yeah, Brudenell was WAAAAY better than Academy 3. How many Yorkshire Social Clubs have Daniel Johnston original sketches on the wall behind the bar?
But I've got a lot of love for all the Academy halls - seen some great bands across them over the years (Throwing Muses, Blur, dEUS, Teenage Fanclub, Sugar, Faithless, Durutti Column...) - and also, it's a good hour less drive each way to Manchester than to Leeds.
Actually, Sugar were rubbish...
