We can’t be together at gigs right now, and who knows when we’ll be able to again? One thing we do know is that when the time comes, we’ll need grassroots independent music venues more than ever.
Returning for its eighth year, Independent Venue Week – typically a series of live showcases – will be take place online later this month, with 110 venues from across the 12 regions of the UK hosting everything from ‘In Conversations’ with artists, labels, promoters and gig-goers (on the 25th, for example, you can catch up with London hardcore tykes’ Chubby and the Gang) to album listening parties, pre-recorded livestreams, comedy and quizzes. The broadcasts will be aired via YouTube and the IVW website, thwarting ‘rona’s attempts to keep us disconnected.
