Reply To: The energy and magic of this performance at a cramped dive bar blew me away.

We have a great organisation here in the UK called the Music Venue Trust. It exists to help grassroots music venues which are having a very challenging time at the moment for various reasons. In some cases the MVT have bought venues so that they are not subject to the whims of commercial landlords. We are fortunate enough to have a superb venue just 10 minutes walk away from home in York – it’s an ex working men’s club with a large music room with a bar and a separate bar area as well. Friendly staff, sensibly priced good beer, wide range of music and continually improving it’s an absolute treasure. We’re going to see protest sing Grace Petrie doing a stand up show and fantastic Canadian folk band Le Vent Du Nord there next month
