Independent Venue Week started in 2014 is a 7 day celebration of small music venues
around the UK and a nod to the people that own, run and work in them,
week in, week out.
Ambassadors in the past have been Colin Greenwood (Radiohead), Frank Turner
and Wolf Alice.
These venues give artists their first experience of playing live in front of an
audience and for fans, somewhere to get up close to artists that one day, may well
be playing stadiums and festival main stages.
Supported using public funding by the Arts Council England, Independent Venue
Week brings together these venues along with breaking and established artists, promoters, labels, media, bloggers and taste makers to create a nationwide series of gigs at the end of January.
These venues are the backbone of the live music scene in this country and Independent Venue Week wants to recognise all that they have done to create
some of the most memorable nights of the past so they can continue to do the same in the future.
