Post-earthquake Christchurch live music venue, operated by Wendy Alfeld at 126 Madras Street (the CPSA/CPIT student association building). Capacity approximately 1,000. Hosted Carl Cox, Shapeshifter, Katchafire, Ladyhawke and others from 2012 to around 2016.
The Bedford was Christchurch's premier large-capacity live music venue of the 2000s, a converted warehouse on Lichfield Street capable of holding around 1,000 people. Demolished after the 2011 earthquake, it was kept alive through a series of marquee pop-up venues by owner Wendy Alfeld — earning national recognition for keeping live music alive in the city through years of disruption.
