Independent Venue Week with Melt Yourself Down

All this week we're celebrating Independent Venue Week. Today, we focus on Future Yard in Birkenhead & chat with Melt Yourself Down before their show for 6 Music this evening.

All this week we're celebrating Independent Venue Week with a series of special shows by shining a light on a different venue each day and discussing the role independent venues play in their community.

Wednesday sees Steve focus on Future Yard in Birkenhead. He鈥檒l welcome the genre-spanning collective, Melt Yourself Down to the show as they prepare for their set at Future Yard later that evening for 6 Music. Louisa Roach of She Drew The Gun gives her personal tour of Birkenhead and presenter Dave Monks from 成人快手 Music Introducing on Merseyside chats to Steve about the local music scene. Plus, we'll hear from the Mayor of the Wirral (the actual Mayor, not a band name) and there鈥檒l be recorded-live tracks from Yard Act and their supporting act Cheap Teeth, from last night's 6 Music show at Leeds' Belgrave Music Hall.

Steve says: 鈥淚ndependent Venue Week has always played a vital role in helping grassroots venues at a financially perilous time of year. But this time round, it鈥檚 even more important to help support the live music circuit after it鈥檚 been hit so hard by COVID. It's a chance for us all to rally round and celebrate just how important these places are to emerging artists and alternative performers. We鈥檝e lined up some of our favourite new and established acts for a week of gigs in small grassroots venues around the country and we鈥檒l be talking to promoters and fans about why live gigs remain so important to the music community.鈥�
