I'll be on @bbc5live in a few minutes to explain how a £1 levy on arena and stadium tickets can protect your local grassroots music venue and ensure we continue to support and develop great new British talent. @musicvenuetrust
@markdavyd @bbc5live @musicvenuetrust Just tuned in, thank you Mark, great interview & the days of poorly run venues are definitely over. Every member of MVA runs a professional business, creating jobs, work experience, paying tax, pensions, insurances, rates. Easier access to funds to keep going is needed!
@SnugAtherton @bbc5live @musicvenuetrust There’s always someone who thinks they know better than the people actually doing it day in day out.
@markdavyd @SnugAtherton @bbc5live @musicvenuetrust Would you say data indicates the greatest amount of talent development has been done in venues that are economically sound profitable businesses Or those that are scraping it and putting every penny into new acts?
@markdavyd @SnugAtherton @bbc5live @musicvenuetrust And who wants a world where only very well run venues survive? A healthy ecosystem would be one where even crap venues survive. And great venues can start out crap! My venue was crap for years! And yours is a crapper!
