Perched above the city, Crookes Social Club is a Sheffield institution – part community hub, part rock-’n’-roll rite of passage. Its concert room has welcomed generations of bands, tribute acts, and charity nights, all backed by a loyal local following. There’s something comforting about the place: the friendly bar staff, the no-nonsense stage, the feeling that everyone knows someone here. For many artists, a Crookes gig is the start of something special.
