More recent appearances have included Sigur Ros, Nitin Sawhney, Joan Baez, Morrissey, Lou Reed, Sugababes, Femi Kuti, Khaled, Wayne Shorter and Jamie Cullum. The Hall also features comedy – Billy Connolly, Jimmy Carr and Lee Evans have played here in recent months - and classic films on its unique Walturdaw rising cinema screen, the only working screen of its type left in the world. Recent screenings have included There Will Be Blood, Sweeney Todd, The Kite Runner and Lawrence of Arabia.

In addition to the main auditorium, there's the Grand Foyer Bar and Rubato cafe bar for eating and drinking and the Rodewald Suite venue, home to the popular After 8 series. A delightfully intimate space, the Rodewald Suite has its own entrance in Sugnall Street, cabaret seating, in-house bar, rooftop terrace, and with the opportunity to meet the artists afterwards it’s the ideal venue to enjoy jazz, roots and unplugged gigs in a unique atmosphere. Ezio, Andy McKee, Ian McNabb and John Power are among the long list of recent performers.
