Support Your Local Music Venue!

#277: Hello ... Hello ... my old friends ... It's great to see you once again! Whilst driving to work today, I was reflecting upon the numbers of gigs that I have been to in the last calendar year. I then got to thinking on how many local music venues that Yours Truly KJS has visited too.

In these days of easy downloads and (so called) TV talent shows, it has been a real pleasure to have been able to not only promote ELO Beatles Forever (ELOBF) featured artistes on the road - but also to support those local music venues that provide a platform for live music here in the Midlands of England and beyond. Here's a selection of those local venues that I've frequented (with various personages) in the last twelve months on the ELOBF trail:

The Robin 2 R 'n' B Club @ Bilston

The Range @ Essington

The Tackeroo @ Hednesford (now closed)

The Roadhouse @ Birmingham (now closed)

The River Rooms @ Stourbridge

Wolverhampton Civic & Wulfrun Halls

Katie Fitzgerald's @ Stourbridge

Prince of Wales Theatre @ Cannock

Here's an idea for you to consider:
Why not try and make sure that you get out and support your local live music venue at least once in the next year so as to keep music live in your area too?

Until next "Time" in the ELO (and related) Universe ... KJS ... 29-Nov-2011
