Independent Venue Week with live music from Bess Atwell
Steve wraps up his Independent Venue Week tour with a focus on The Horn in St Albans. Bess Atwell chats and performs live and Rou from Enter Shikari gives us a tour of the City.
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.
Today we focus on The Horn in St. Albans, plus we speak to Penelope Isles after their show at the Louisiana in Bristol last night. Singer-songwriter Bess Atwell performs at The Horn tonight and she joins Steve for a chat on the show and an acoustic performance beforehand. Giving a guided audio tour of the area is Rou Reynolds of St. Albans rock band, Enter Shikari. Plus, Steve will revisit some of the weeks’ live music, including recorded-live tracks from Penelope Isles and supporting band Prima Queen at the Louisiana (Thursday 3rd February) and extended highlights from Yard Act at Belgrave Music Hall (Tuesday 1st February).
Steve says: “Independent Venue Week has always played a vital role in helping grassroots venues at a financially perilous time of year. But this time round, it’s even more important to help support the live music circuit after it’s 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’ve lined up some of our favourite new and established acts for a week of gigs in small grassroots venues around the country and we’ll be talking to promoters and fans about why live gigs remain so important to the music community
