You take that back, The Brook is a classy venue, frequented by many tribute acts!
That said, take a look at this page

Seriously, I was surprised that the Wildhearts decided to play there. I guess that they are still searching for a decent venue in Southampton since Ginger played at Nexus and about 12 people turned up. I saw that gig as more of a "let's ramp up the tour slowly by playing in a small venue so not many people will see us fsck it up". And I'm not complaining that they played within walking distance of my house
