- Its local which means close to home (not alot of travelling)
- Easy to access.
- Not much trouble getting there if its close(easy transportation).
- Less money to hire out if you know local people that own the venue.
- Not hard to contact the owner.
- Bands can sometimes get scouted or spotted by someone in local venues looking for new bands/singers ect.
- Can be expensive if you live in an expensive area.
- You could be a lot more nervous because your friends and family that live in that area would most likely come and you could be worried about there thoughts and opinions on your performance.
- You wouldn't get as much profit as you would on a bigger more known venue such as less people buying food and drink and less tickets on smaller local venues.
- There would also be a limited audience for a local small venue.
- Facilities for people would be a disadvantage because some venues wouldn't have proper speakers or lighting for your performance and you would then have a lot more work finding the proper equipment you need.
