The Music Venue Trust has announced details of its first Welsh Venues Meeting on 17 May at Clwb Ifor Bach in Cardiff.
Presented in partnership with UK Music and the Arts Council of Wales, the one-day event will provide a platform for venues to meet with Welsh and UK cultural and music industry organisations to discuss local and national challenges facing the live music sector.
The event will be free to representatives from venues with leading speakers expected from the live music industry as well as MVT partners including UK Music, the Musicians’ Union and disabled fan’s advocacy charity, Attitude is Everything.
Beverley Whitrick, MVT’s strategic director, said: ‘As a UK-wide organisation it’s important for us to emphasise that we represent grassroots music venues from across Britain, and in order to do this we need to go out and talk to the people that run those venues
‘We are aware that we have a limited number of Music Venues Alliance members in Wales to date but are keen to build our networks and listen to the issues for venues there. Some of the challenges will be the same as in England or Scotland but others may be specific to Wales, so this is something we need to know.’
Anyone wanting to attend should email venuesday@gmail.com to reserve a place.
