#livemusic Please read the thread. It’s important that our local venues can stay open and thrive if the next generations can enjoy new exciting music and old songs played in a very modern way. Then follow these musicians as they gather momentum and become what they set out to be. #localvenues
For every grassroots music venue that shuts its doors, around 200 gigs vanish from the map. 200 local shows that don’t happen.

No support slots. No first-stage debuts. No tour dates in your town. No gigs = no future for live music. None of the stuff you love. Simple.

@bluenationmusic.bsky.social A question for you. This tour, second set, why have last two songs been swapped around? 🤔 Sorry if a bit cryptic, but don’t want to give anything away for those who have yet to see you & Dom Martin Band 😊

A few pix of @bluenationmusic.bsky.social at The Harlington venue in Fleet on Saturday. There is nothing like #livemusic 🎶

If you’ve not seen Dom Martin and his band… go! Incredible musicianship. The bass player Ben Graham is super talented too. You always feel that that you’ve witnessed something very special. They’re on tour now. 🎫🎫🎫🎸🥁🎤 Album ‘Buried In The Hail’

Thanks to Sam, his whole team, and everyone who's gone out and seen him live from day one to now. At some point you went to watch him for the very first time - maybe at a grassroots venue. Imagine if that moment had never happened.

Our music venues are where lives and careers get their jumpstart, but access to them relies on them staying open. We've lost too many over the last ten years and beyond, but on days like this you can feel the tide starting to change.

He didn’t have to. But he did. And it’s making a real difference. Support like this helps make sure everyone - from any walk of life, in any UK town - has a space to play, listen, and belong.

Our huge, heartfelt thanks to Sam Fender, who’s donated his £25,000 Mercury Prize winnings to Music Venue Trust... after already making sure £1 from every ticket on his recent tour went to support grassroots music venues.

Mr. O could be talking about England. There’s that quote ‘bad things happen when good people do nothing’.
If nothing else, the last nine months should have made it clear that elections matter. But what’s remarkable about America is that we have the power, as citizens, to change this country by voting. Go to IWillVote.com.

Here is a chance to stop OFWAT allowing Thames Water to legally dump sewage into our rivers and seas for the next 15 years. There is so much wrong in the world now, but we can at least try to stop these crooks by signing this petition. #ThamesWater #sewage #environment weownit.org.uk/public-owner...
