Written on the way home

What people wrote about nights here

  • A guest 80% for Strawbs · Wed, 25 Apr 2001

    Went as a long time fan of the band, from the first album, courtesy of a friend Joan. The band were excellent, the sound was good for the size of the theatre. Favourite songs Benedictus, Grave new world and The man who called himself Jesus had me singing along. Dave Cousins had the place in his hands, but all too soon the night to remember came to an end! I have not forgotten that night!

Five questions about the building, not the gig

What this room is like

Nobody has said what this room sounds like

104 concerts logged here and not one answer yet. Five taps - the place itself, then the sound, the sightlines, getting in and out and what the bar charges - and this page starts telling people what Burnley Mechanics is actually like to stand in. There's room to write about it as well - one entry each, added to over the years.
