Independent Venue Week - Birmingham

Steve tours five cities shining a light on the alternative music scene in each area and celebrating the venues which are its bedrock. Tonight Steve broadcasts from Birmingham.

Across this week, Steve Lamacq tours five cities around the UK, shining a light on the alternative music scene in each area and celebrating the venues which are its bedrock.
Following on from covering Independent Venue Week last year, which is an annual celebration of the country's grass root venues, Steve will be broadcasting his show live from Leeds, Birmingham, Oxford, Chelmsford and Brighton.
In each of the areas he visits, he'll be meeting gig-goers and hearing their memories of the alternative music scene. Steve will be presenting his show from the 大象传媒 Local Radio stations in each of the locations and visiting venues in each area.
Since 2007, London has lost more than 35% of its grassroots music venues and this is a trend being seen across the country. In places where there is just one alternative music venue, they are the vital source of cultural stimulus and have huge importance in that area, whilst also providing the first step on the ladder for many an aspiring artist. The Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Coldplay, The Clash, Oasis, Ed Sheeran and Adele are just some of the big names who have all learnt their craft on the small venue circuit.
