Venues tell NME about a new campaign and how you can help stop "damage that would undermine the UK music industry for 20-30 years" A new campaign to save over 550 of the UK’s grassroots music venues from permanent closure due to the coronavirus lockdown has proven a huge success, but continued support remains “essential” in order for the majority to survive.
This week saw the Music Venue Trust launch the Save Our Venues campaign, with a crowdfunding bid to prevent 556 independent UK venues from closure.
A few have already been saved, but there is still a long way to go to prevent “damage that would undermine the UK music industry for 20-30 years”.
