British singer/songwriter Frank Turner has partnered with Music Venue Trust to launch the #saveourvenues campaign, attempting to save 'hundreds of grassroots music venues at imminent risk of being closed down'.
Turner joins other artists to perform ‘at home gigs' in support of local venues, chosen from the campaign website (www.saveourvenues.co.uk), and commented 'The UK live music industry is staring into the abyss right now. I’m not able to save the whole thing on my own, but I decided to do a series of livestream shows to raise money for specific independent venues that I know and love, and that are in serious risk of disappearing right now'.
