Rock A Boom is my favourite independent music shop in Leicester. It is located in ST. Martin's…read moresquare which is about 5 minutes away from Highcross shopping centre - Firebug bar and McDonalds are nearby. Rock A Boom is only a small shop and can't compete with HMV for sheer physical space. What it can offer though is very good value on cd's and a small selection of vinyl. They cater to alternative music fans, so you can find some right gems searching through the racks on everything from punk rock to drum 'n' bass. The reason I come back here is because the staff are incredibly friendly and chatty. I don't just come here to buy a record, I come here to have a natter. The attendant will often talk to me about what he's been listening to and recommend things to try. This is the sort of banter and experience you just can't get at bigger corporate record stores.

A Leicester institution, and rightly so. For those looking away from the mainstream for their…read moremusical thrills, this is the best little shop in the city, jam packed with musical obscurities and latest releases. The staff know their stuff, and you can get gig tickets for anything that's going on in Leicester, which is extremely handy. Prices were a little on the steep side before, but I have been informed that they're now extremely competitive. Plus, with certain albums, they occasionally give away free posters and stuff too. Lovely.

This place is a bit hit and miss. Like any Student Union, it is cheapness mixed with a hint of…read moregrot. There are a load of facilities going on in this building, as you'd expect, from a shop and various student services, a gym and clubs to the Redfearne Bar. The main reason people will go is for the bar or the events. The club nights are OK and they have some reasonably decent live music events. I saw Pendulum there and I used to be a student at Leicester and I never had any major complaints. The prices are cheap and unsurprisingly it's crammed full of students having a good time. Light hearted and cheery atmosphere on the whole. I don't know if they still have them, but when I was a student the bar had these handheld game machines where you could play against all the other people in the county on quiz style things. That was my favourite bit, excepting the booze. It wasn't the food let's put it that way.

As a former student of Leicester University, I have to agree with the previous review that the…read morebuilding itself and the facilities are a bit hit and miss. Funnily enough, the Student Union itself is often rated amongst the best in the country, but that's more about the people running it than the facilities themselves. You can find most services you would need as a student in this building, from arranging travel, to dealing with personal problems, as well as all the usual student union stuff including a well stocked shop and gymnasium. The Redfearne bar is what most students will be most interested in (and no doubt spend most of their time in!). To be honest, compared to other student union bar's I've been to; Leicester's is fairly tatty in comparison and in need of a bit of renovation! The other university in the city - De Montfort - has a much better and modern student union bar/venue. That said, its not all bad, the drink prices are as expected cheap and there are many excellent promotions to be had. I would not suggest eating from here though, as the food isn't exactly great quality or good value.
