Luminaire is voted best London venue
crablin by Colin Roberts February 22nd, 2006

Rejoice! An interesting venue finally wins an award!

Kilburn, North London. No, it's not one of the 'fashionable' parts of London and if you've ever lived on one of the council estates off the main road, you'll know it can often be mildly hostile. It does however contain a DiS-favourite venue that has now been proclaimed the Time Out Live Venue of the Year!

Having recently played host to the talents of Battles, My Latest Novel, The Books and Gemma Hayes, The Luminaire is marking itself out as a discerning venue for new and cult artists, with one of the most welcoming atmospheres of any venue and great sound to match.

Alongside regular clubnights from World Domination League and forthcoming shows from Smoosh, Howling Bells, Data Panik and a whole host more of splendid artists, DiS is beginning its new UK-wide gig network with a farewell show by premier UK metallers Eden Maine, you can find out more by clicking here.

Check out what's coming up and book tickets at their lovely website, www.theluminaire.co.uk.
