The Garage opened at the end of 2008, as a live music and events venue in Uplands, Swansea. Whether it has been bands, DJ’s or comedians we have seen a rich variety of acts come through our doors to show audiences what they’ve got.
We don’t do gimmicks, and we don’t charge a fortune. The Garage works on one main principle: simplicity. We have an excellent sound system, friendly staff and a cosy atmosphere - no matter how big the parties can get!
The venue is now available for hire at very reasonable rates if you want to put on a show. Just get in touch! We can also tailor an event for you if needed.
But first and foremost we are here to entertain. Many thanks go out to our customers, bands, DJ’s and acts. We are very proud to be part of Swansea’s thriving music and arts culture, and you make that possible!

On WED May 30th, The Garage will open its doors to yet another massive star of the comedy world, ‘Mock the Week’ regular, star of ‘Live at the Apollo’, ‘Michael McIntyre’s Comedy Roadshow’ and Dave’s ‘One night Stand’ and Perrier Award Winner MILTON JONES.
The Clown’s Pocket Comedy Club has been proud to bring stars such as RUFUS HOUND, STEWART FRANCIS, HOWARD MARKS and PETE FIRMAN to the fantastic Garage venue in 2011 and now we welcome the king of surreal one-liners to the home of big name comedy in Swansea.
Milton usually sells out very large theatres and halls so here is a rare opportunity to watch the master of surreal one-liners at work in a far more intimate environment, the fantastic Garage venue in Swansea Uplands.
He takes time out from his hectic TV, Radio, DVD and novel writing schedule to show us just why Chortle crowned him ‘Headliner of the Year’ last year.

‘Sultan of the surreal' - The Guardian
‘Breathtakingly Funny’ – The Independent

Limehouse Lizzy have been officially named one of the hardest working acts in the UK, alongside some of the country's biggest & most popular performers. They were accredited for their live shows by the Performing Rights Society in December 2011, and recieved their award from PRS Chairman and Ivor Novello award-winning songwriter (Elvis Presley, Ray Charles, Tom Jones) Guy Fletcher OBE.
Renowned for an action-packed pyrothechnic-fuelled explosion of a show, Limehouse Lizzy continue to keep the spirit of Celtic rock icon Philip Lynott and his band Thin Lizzy alive, well and dominating stages worldwide. The band have also added a tribute in their set to the late Gary Moore (ex-Thin Lizzy guitarist and world renowned solo artist) who sadly passed away last year.
Attention to detail, playful audience interaction and that all important X-factor that leaves you with the feeling of witnessing the real thing have led to their performance being described as “beyond tribute”, by both audience and critics alike.
Following the enormous success of their ˜Live & Dangerous” & ˜Dedication” tours, the band embarked upon their “Into the Limelight” tour to tie in with their appearance on an episode of BBC2’s ‘Arena’ documentary series of the same name.
The tour travelled as far as a headline slot at a rock festival in Greece, and the Virgin Atlantic Music festival in Barbados. The band appeared alongside diverse world music acts, and played a Thin Lizzy set representing the celtic rock genre.
In 2012 the band's European tour continues to explore and celebrate the artistic and musical legacy of the hard-living, hard-rocking, yet at times surprisingly tender and romantic artist that was Philip Lynott. This year they will be appearing in the UK, Ireland, Germany, France, Holland and Belgium.
Expect more of the Celtic influenced tracks like ”Whisky in the Jar” and “Black Rose”, amongst the usual razzamatazz and classic tracks “The Boys are Back in Town”, “Sarah” and many others we’ve come to expect from one of the most highly rated acts on the circuit.
