Music Venue Trust announces London conference
By Andy Malt | Published on Thursday 30 October 2014
The Music Venue Trust has announced Venues Day, an event due to take place at the Southbank Centre in London on 9 Dec.
Aiming to give a stronger voice to the UK’s smaller gig venues, the day will see discussions between representatives of those venues and the wider music industry. There will be three main panels, dealing with: best practice, noise vs nuisance, and the question ‘what happens next?’
Amongst the speakers on the day will be Horace Trubridge from the Musicians’ Union, Attitude Is Everything’s Suzanne Bull, Mike Weatherley MP, Lisa Lavia from the Noise Abatement Society and Dom Frazer from Guildford venue The Boilerroom.
Commenting on the new conference event, Music Venue Trust CEO Mark Davyd told CMU: “Venues Day is the first event of its kind in the UK, specifically created for the needs of the small and medium music venues. We want to change perceptions, about what these venues do, how they do it, what’s good practice, and clarify the message so that the cultural sector, music industry and politicians can recognise, support and develop that work. We hope all the venues around the country will see this as an important opportunity to get their voices heard”.
Venue managers, owners and promoters can apply for free delegate passes now by emailing musicvenuetrust@gmail.com. Registration will open fully on 10 Nov. More info here.
