Another grass roots venue lost due to developers greed.
Along with Motion in Bristol, that’s the second I’ve heard of in 24hrs.
We need to protect our venues and stop these vultures from turning them into flats.

Going through the detail of the budget, it is clear that @RachelReevesMP has taken various steps to try to create a relatively budget neutral situation for small businesses. This macro position is sensible and fair, but has unfortunately missed a micro issue on Rate Relief 🧵 👇

RT so @DCMS @lisanandy @RhonddaBryant can hear a very clear message from the whole music community on this issue
Oasis:
£200million+ tickets
£20million+ charges
£2million+ facility fees
A Big Fat £Zero invested in the grassroots sector

This is desperately required. As are responses to all the other recommendations in the excellent Select Committee Report.
Especially the fact that these Oasis shows have contributed nothing at all to the grassroots sector economy.
Dear @lisanandy @RhonddaBryant
The @CommonsCMS Report proposed a fan led review. @musicvenuetrust asked @DCMS to back that call.
It’s in your inbox and we are ready to help deliver it. We can start tomorrow. theguardian.com/music/articl…

🎫🎙️In My Opinion: “Every ticket sold at an arena and stadium should contain a £1 financial contribution back into the live music ecosystem."
🎶Mark Davyd from the Music Venue Trust says the money would go to fund finance local venues and new talent.
❓What do you think?

Best clarification ever. 8 acts left on the bill out of 96 once you remove the ones who started their live careers in grassroots music venues... unless you know better?
