Guildford’s The Boileroom and PRS for Music will be teaming up for a series of gigs as part of Independent Venue Week (IVW).
Running from Monday 25 to Friday 29 January, the week at the venue will begin with Eliza And The Bear on the 25 followed by Swedish hardcore punks Grieved on the 26.
Singer-songwriter Charlie Dore will take the stage on the 27, new guitar poppers Lisbon on the 28 and the alt-folk of This Is The Kit on the 29. More performances are yet to be added to the week’s line-up.
In support of the spirit of all things independent, a DIY educational session will take place on 30 January at The Boileroom where PRS for Music and other industry experts will be giving out top tips and advice on how to ‘Do It Yourself’ as an independent musician in the business.
The session will pair up with local artist development programme, The Project, where four young, local acts will be selected to hone their skills as live performers by playing in front of an expert panel.
Paul Sims, PRS for Music’s head of marketing, said: ‘We are excited to be partnering with The Boileroom and are delighted to be a part of IVW once again.
‘Small independent venues are where it all starts, they play an integral part in developing the UK’s live music scene and are an essential platform for so many of our members. IVW is a great way to champion the remarkable venues we have across the country and a fantastic opportunity for music fans to support them.’
