No.2: The Old Bridge Inn, Aviemore
Capacity: 100
Year: 2009
They say…Stuart Dougan (French Wives): “The Old Bridge Inn is very probably the most hospitable venue in Scotland and the work that Gordon (Reilly, venue owner) puts into the live music is amazing. You wouldn’t think that being in such a small town that there would be scope for attracting bands from all over the country and beyond but he’s really put Aviemore on the map. Everyone is really friendly, the food is great and the whisky selection is even better. It’s also spawned the Insider Festival which was probably more fun than playing at T in the Park so he’s definitely doing something right.”

Watch it for yourself: Check out The Banana Sessions in a dimly-lit but bouncy-bouncy video playing their now famous Prodigy medley at the Old Bridge Inn in February last year.
