IT’S just a few days until Independent Venue Week returns – a seven-day celebration of grassroots venues and the vital part they play in our music industry.
Taking place from 29th January to 4th February, the 2024 edition will see 205 venues host a whole array of shows across the UK, all with the aim of encouraging fans to support their local venues on a year-round basis. The celebrations are also set to span various cities and towns, taking in areas which are often overlooked and under-appreciated.
And with plenty of venues being forced to close in these trying times, there’s never been a more important time to get behind your local venue.
This year’s Scottish IVW Ambassador is none other than Brooke Combe, who performs at the Mac Arts Centre in Galashiels on 31st January. It’s just one of the brilliant events taking place next week – and we’ve outlined some of the highlights below.
