What’s a grassroots venue?
A venue that is often an independent venue, having a small capacity venue with around 100
capacity venues. A venue of which partakes in financial fair play. A venue that focuses on up
and coming acts creating exposure towards the musical industry, not focusing majoritively
on specific genre. Has to have a fixed/temporary stage (infrastructure) - has to possess a
mixing desk, PA system and other equipment, Have staff and venue promo. predicted

( Manchester, Leeds, Sheffield (the washington), Birmingham, Liverpool)
Investigate statistics through their track of where they are touring, spotify statistics where
they're most popular listeners are based and root from those areas.
(Grassroots Elephant Test
Musicians and audiences in the town/borough/city think that it is a grassroots music venue.)
It is a music business, run by music experts.
An organisational focus on music. Other ancillary servies (alcohol, food, merchandise)
subsidiary or dependent upon music activity.
It takes risks with its cultural program- That risk taking is the ignition system of the engine that is the
UK music industry. This helps ignite the journey for small artists have exposure into the live music
industry.
