Celebrating the Spirit of Independence & Culture of Live Music

No Comments Uncategorized

Independent Venue Week 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.

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 recognize 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.

Independent music venues across the UK find January one of the hardest months of the year to sustain, if not the hardest and that’s why Independent Venue Week was launched 3 years ago supported by BBC Music.

We’re pleased to announce The New Adelphi Club, in Hull is part of IVW again. Independent venues across the UK have signed up to take part in the week of celebrations, which will take place on Monday 29th January – Sunday 4th February 2018.

Small independent venues, like the Adelphi, give emerging artists their first experience of playing live to a non-bias audience. Having played at the Adelphi, such bands have gone on to become household names, as in the case of Stone Roses, Pulp, and Radiohead to name a few.

The culturally significant venue, based in De Grey Street in the city hosted #Adelphi30; 7 days, 7 events which saw the likes of BRIT Award winners Kaiser Chiefs taking to the stage and the Housemartins reunion on the final night.

Supported by BBC Music, 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.
