Steve chats to Penelope Isles and plays highlights from their set at the Louisiana in Bristol, plus IVW highlights from across the week including music from Franz Ferdinand and Melt Yourself Down.

Steve says: 鈥淚ndependent Venue Week has always played a vital role in helping grassroots venues at a financially perilous time of year. But this time round, it鈥檚 even more important to help support the live music circuit after it鈥檚 been hit so hard by COVID. It's a chance for us all to rally round and celebrate just how important these places are to emerging artists and alternative performers. We鈥檝e lined up some of our favourite new and established acts for a week of gigs in small grassroots venues around the country and we鈥檒l be talking to promoters and fans about why live gigs remain so important to the music community.鈥�
