INDEPENDENT VENUE WEEK is a 7 day celebration of small music venues around the UK and a nod to the people that run them, week in, week out.
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 Arts Council England, Independent Venue Week brings together these venues along with breaking and established artists, promoters, labels, media, bloggers and tastemakers 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.
CLUB VELOCITY started in March 2003, at the Rising Sun Arts Centre.it is the longest regular gig night in Reading.Over the years it has hosted very early shows by the likes of Sundara Karma, The Amazons,Bloc Party,Midimidis Ben Marwood, The Good Natured,Pete And The Pirates, Six Nation State, Mat Maltese, Palm Honey, Echoic and many others
Plus over years many representatives of the music industry from all three major record labels, many independent record and publishing companies plus managers who look after from everyone from the Libertines to Heaven 17.
