An occasion marked every year, Independent Venue Week is more than a celebration of music; it鈥檚 a lifeline for many of those smaller venues and the towns they're in.

Week-in-week out, these venues nurture local talent and build communities together, but they're quickly being lost.

Tim Dougill has secured giants like Fyfe Dangerfield to perform in Nantwich next week - hot off the heels of Goldie Lookin' Chain selling out the Civic Hall.

And he's been raising money for Mid-Cheshire Mind by putting on gigs.
