Thanks to Sam, his whole team, and everyone who's gone out and seen him live from day one to now. At some point you went to watch him for the very first time - maybe at a grassroots venue. Imagine if that moment had never happened.

Our music venues are where lives and careers get their jumpstart, but access to them relies on them staying open. We've lost too many over the last ten years and beyond, but on days like this you can feel the tide starting to change.

He didn’t have to. But he did. And it’s making a real difference. Support like this helps make sure everyone - from any walk of life, in any UK town - has a space to play, listen, and belong.

Our huge, heartfelt thanks to Sam Fender, who’s donated his £25,000 Mercury Prize winnings to Music Venue Trust... after already making sure £1 from every ticket on his recent tour went to support grassroots music venues.

Mr. O could be talking about England. There’s that quote ‘bad things happen when good people do nothing’.
If nothing else, the last nine months should have made it clear that elections matter. But what’s remarkable about America is that we have the power, as citizens, to change this country by voting. Go to IWillVote.com.

Here is a chance to stop OFWAT allowing Thames Water to legally dump sewage into our rivers and seas for the next 15 years. There is so much wrong in the world now, but we can at least try to stop these crooks by signing this petition. #ThamesWater #sewage #environment weownit.org.uk/public-owner...

Good morning & welcome to #Caturday

When a hundred things go wrong, let the one good thing remind you that hope is still here.

A single bright moment can outshine a hundred shadows.

If you’re running a grassroots space, now is the time to apply. This fund has already helped transform the live music landscape, so let’s make sure more of our grassroots can benefit.

@travisbaldree.bsky.social Hi. I’ve dipped into fantasy and read your book ‘Bookshops & Bonedust’. Thank you for a great read. Got a bit too emotionally invested, so blubbed a bit. Guess that is what marks out a blooming good author. I now have to read the prequel 😁
