Charity stands out ‘remarkable’ in the music industry
Music Venue Trust (MVT) celebrates International Women’s Day by highlighting the career in the UK’s independent theatre sector and delivering six new sponsors.
The charity, which campaigns for local sites, will today highlight (March 8) the “remarkable” women in the industry under its hashtag . WomenToTheFront. MVT also announced new sponsors: Nova Twins, HAAi, Moxie Adwaith, Kerri Watt and Mother Artists Live Director/Reserve Agent Natasha Gregory.
Sarah Claudine, events, projects and communications at the Music Venue Trust, said in a statement: “We are very proud to have so many remarkable women who make a contribution to MVT, from our senior team and coordinators to our board of administrators and sponsors, and know that this diversity reflects the transformative face of the live music network in general. »
British punk duo Nova Twins added: “We owe a lot to popular places. This is the only way for new teams to revel and start their careers!They are new artists and combine an incredible network of musicians and lovers of local music. . They are essential for small bands travelling in the UK. Without them, we don’t know where we’d be today!”

And Australian DJ HAAi, who was founded in the UK, said: “My early years in the UK I spent them betting and going to popular places. These were not only to feed me as a musician and performer, but also served as a safe haven for like-minded creatives. These spaces allow freedom of expression.
“Now, as a traveling DJ, I sense the importance of small places to expand your craft. Without them, we would be trapped in an industry circuit that is less available to emerging talent. For this reason, I am proud to be an ambassador to the Music Venue Trust. »
Away from today’s annual women’s celebration, MVT warned that immediate coronavirus detection may be the key to reopening music rooms as the coronavirus pandemic gives way.
CEO Mark Davyd said the organization is in a position to implement an immediate verification system. “Music Venue Trust has created the option of two pilot sites to host events with immediate verification and a variety of other mitigation measures to live stream music in an environment,” he said.
