The Borderline, Soho
Just around the corner from the Astoria, the Borderline is properly intimate (i.e: titchy), and consequently tends to play host to much smaller, often low-key acousticy type gigs. However, a glance at the photo's on the walls reveals that over the years the venue has seen some now legendary acts tread the boards and chances are that some of the nobodies of today will soon become names to be reckoned with. Also hosts club nights of dubious quality.
