Was at the Deaf Institute in Manchester for the first (hopefully not the last) time at the weekend. Room up top with a weird flock-wallpapered viewing gallery at the back, parrot wallpaper everywhere else, vast glitter ball. Pretty quirky.

The Band Room - basically a shed somewhere in North Yorkshire - middle of nowhere. Handsome Family play there every so often. That was pretty quirky.

Got any favorite quirky venues, you know where you go `this is a bit ... quirky`?
