Independent Venue Week with Yard Act playing live
Steve is live from the Belgrave Music Hall in Leeds as we continue our celebration of Independent Venues Week & has Yard Act playing live & live music from Franz Ferdinand.
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, Steve takes his show on the road to Belgrave Music Hall in Leeds. His guests today will be post-punk band Yard Act, who will perform an acoustic track live for listeners, before their set at Belgrave Music Hall for 6 Music that evening. Whiskas from 隆Forward, Russia! and Simon Rix from the Kaiser Chiefs, both from Leeds, will give listeners an audio tour of their hometown. Acting Premier League referee, Jon Moss, who runs the Leeds record store, The Vinyl Whistle, is also a guest, along with presenter Emily Pilbeam from 成人快手 Music Introducing in Leeds. Steve will also play out highlights from Franz Ferdinand鈥檚 performance at PJ Molloys in Dumfermline the previous night, plus a track from their support act, Hamish Hawk.
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�
