From Save Our Venues to Independent Music Venues Aotearoa it’s been a journey (and only five years?!).
Big thanks to Audioculture and Gareth Shute for telling our story, chatting to those who were there in the beginning - and the reinforcements who joined the fight for grassroots venues.

Brand new, and an important story for live music fans. Gareth Shute meets the people behind Save Our Venues (now known as Independent Music Venues Aotearoa/IMVA), and talks to the artists who value them highly, such as Reb Fountain.
