The Last Safe Space a straight-talking, data-driven weekly podcast from Music Venue Trust, the charitable organization dedicated to protecting and promoting the ÜK’s grassroots music venues. Each episode breaks down the biggest news affecting those venues – from government policy to local wins, campaigns, crisis cases, and how we as fans can take action to support live music.
In this week’s episode, presenters Toni Coe and Mark Davyd unpack the latest from Westminster and beyond.
In the week that the House of Lords debates the Agent of Change amendment, and the Government stalls on business rates reform, in England and Wales, MVT outlines a bold new investment approach: “don’t just fund problems — fix them”.
Plus, the pair look at community victories from The Sound Lounge in Darwen and The George Tavern in east London, new partnerships with Fred Perry and Yamaha, and take a hard look at rights management and venue protection.
Über Röck is proud to help spread the message and share all the frontline news from the ÜK’s grassroots music venue ecosystem, straight from the source. All content remains © Music Venue Trust and all data is correct at the time of filming.
