Independent Venue Week

[fmttmadmin]

Will you take in a gig this week to support Independent Venue Week?
The venues as well as the bands are feeling the pinch at the moment - I know the same obviously applies to the audience too. But spiraling costs are really taking their toll on the hospitality sector and our live music venues already under real strain are disappearing all over the country. On a happier note we have some great gigs this week. In the Tees area you can pick and choose between some superb touring and local acts.
Have a look at this list we compiled last week.

IVW means Independent Venue Week.

Seeing PT in Sheff on Sat - only heard amazing things about them live. Feels like I've been waiting ages to see them!

Another tremendous night at Ku Bar - Komparrison as always putting on a top show. Great supports Jam Tub and Lost in Translation really promising young bands.
Lots of people there again. And big nights elsewhere in town.
