The Music Venue Trust

The Music Venues Trust (MVT) said financial stresses led 125 UK venues to abandon live music in 2023, with over half of these shutting entirely. These venues face financial issues: Rising rents, energy costs, and business rates, along with supply costs and licensing issues, The impact of closures led to the loss of around 4,000 jobs, 14,500 events were no longer possible and 193,230 gigs for musicians were lost.

Working with the Music Venue Trust and Cloud X, company that champion up and coming artists, we collaborated with Bush Hall, an iconic venue in North London that struggled to capture a younger crowd. We facilitated an event in which artists from different backgrounds and different genres had the opportunity to play at Bush Hall to draw in a new crowd and support both the venue and the artists.
