Abstract In its broadest sense, the Toilet Circuit comprises smaller and independent music venues in the UK that launched many now famous artists and bands, alongside supporting many that are locally known, igniting or sustaining all-important local music scenes and their cultural production. Fueled by alcohol, drugs and adrenalin, the turbulent atmosphere of Toilet Circuit venues offer escapism for disaffected youth within the seedy aesthetic environment evocative of a recalcitrant culture. These raucous grime-pits play a vital role in the ecology of Britain's music scene and broader cultural sector. Against a backdrop of closures, this paper seeks to explore the significance of these venues and their future, using three iconic examples in London, Leeds and Kent.

“厕所巡回赛”：英格兰小型音乐场所的文化生产、狂热和遗产

摘要 从最广泛的意义上讲，Toilet Circuit 由英国较小的独立音乐场所组成，这些场所推出了许多现在著名的艺术家和乐队，同时支持许多当地知名人士，点燃或维持所有重要的当地音乐场景及其文化生产。在酒精、毒品和肾上腺素的推动下，厕所巡回赛场馆的动荡气氛为心怀不满的年轻人提供了一种在令人想起顽固文化的肮脏审美环境中的逃避现实。这些喧闹的污垢坑在英国音乐界和更广泛的文化领域的生态中发挥着至关重要的作用。在关闭的背景下，本文试图通过伦敦、利兹和肯特的三个标志性例子来探索这些场馆及其未来的重要性。
