Independent Venue Week with Wet Leg, Grove & Geoff Barrow

Steve continues his Independent Venue Week tour & today looks at The Louisiana in Bristol. We speak to Wet Leg's Hester Chambers and Grove gives us a tour of Bristol.

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.

Thursday is the turn of The Louisiana in Bristol. Geoff Barrow of Portishead will talk listeners through the best of Bristol鈥檚 record stores, and we catch up with IVW Ambassadors Wet Leg. Bristol-based artist Grove gives us a tour of some other locations in the city that have been embraced by the differing musical communities, and presenter James Threlfall from 成人快手 Music Introducing in Bristol also takes part in this show. Also, there鈥檒l be performance highlights from Melt Yourself Down at Future Yard in Birkenhead and their supporting artist, MC Nelson.

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
