Pale Fire Music

The Firefly venue has a capacity of 150 and is situated on the first floor
in the old Oakengates Market Hall (built 1826) near Telford, West
Midlands.
(3)

Pale Fire Music and Left For Dead Records are Not-for-Profit promoters working with Firefly owner Scott Adams to deliver a Community Music Project supporting original live music. The Firefly has stage lighting and a projection system over the stage which is 6.2m wide 3.3m deep 0.84m high. Pale Fire Music have their own 4.7Kw sound system purchased
on their behalf by Forge Urban Revival via a commu

nity grant. Because of the age of the Market Hall building, the first floor of
the Firefly can only be accessed via a staircase, and the same
applies to the balcony seating. The Firefly is a 3-minute walk from Oakengates Train Station in
Telford (Birmingham to Shrewsbury Line) and only 2.5 miles by
car from junction 5 on the M54.

We were impressed to find folk who had travelled far to Telford, with one from Norfolk!
