Over 40% of grassroots venues in the UK are losing money, according to figures from the Music Venue Trust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These costs are weighing on Sheffield\u2019s live music scene, which has already seen two blows recently with the Leadmill set for eviction and the closure of nightclub Hope Works in February.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Venues are facing a squeeze on income amidst rising costs of living, as well as greater expenses through business rates and higher national insurance contributions coming in April.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the blame is often laid at the feet of poor management, Maurice Champeau, General Manager at Crookes Social Club, thinks this is only a small part of the problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He guesses the amount having this issue is \u201cabout 20%\u201d, but stresses the need of venues to adapt, with the Social Club hosting comedy nights as well as letting rooms out for functions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He said: \u201cWe&#8217;ve had to look internally at ourselves at all music venues and say, how can I best make this work?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;People&#8217;s ability to spend cash is reducing year on year. So, we&#8217;ve got to make it more justifiable for people to spend the money on tickets. How can I make it productive?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/sheffieldwire.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/DSC9106-Enhanced-NR-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-71639\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sheffieldwire.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/DSC9106-Enhanced-NR-980x653.jpg 980w, https:\/\/sheffieldwire.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/DSC9106-Enhanced-NR-480x320.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Flat Moon performing live. The band see the UK&#8217;s grassroots music scene as &#8216;unsustainable&#8217;, and point to a growing rift between small and medium-sized venues. (Image provided by Flat Moon)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>One widely discussed issue is the growing chasm between smaller and larger venues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ticketmaster owner Live Nation made \u00a317.8 Billion in revenues across 2023, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.musicvenuetrust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/MVT_2023-Annual-Report_Digital.pdf\">year that saw 125 grassroots venues close<\/a>, a 13% decrease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mr Champeau believes that rift is only getting larger, and Jacob Kendrew and Scarlet Bishop of the band Flat Moon agree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With medium sized venues often paying as little as \u00a350 to supporting bands, the step up from smaller venues is near impossible. Combined with smaller margins from ticket sales, growth is harder than ever for artists; Hawley jokes that the band is \u201cessentially a t-shirt selling company\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Discussing how little money there is in grassroots music, Bishop says the issue is endemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis isn&#8217;t sustainable, and we just accept that, everyone accepts it as if that\u2019s just the case. That\u2019s not going to be able to keep happening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s going to become so underground that you can\u2019t find any new artists.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is no small worry for the UK\u2019s music industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whilst the band describe independent and \u2018commercial\u2019 music as two separate industries, the latter is dependent on the former to produce new talent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>English Teacher are a clear example of this. Winners of last years Mercury Prize, the bands\u2019 singer Lily Fontaine told a House of Commons committee that their bands\u2019 genre <a href=\"https:\/\/committees.parliament.uk\/oralevidence\/14582\/html\/\">would be \u201cnon-existent\u201d<\/a> without the smaller venues that groups initially begin touring in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Financial constraints don\u2019t just threaten UK music\u2019s talent pipeline, they also make it less accessible, says Mr Champeau.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI would love to put a disabled access lift to my stage, because there are lots of acts who want to play here, but have people who need wheelchair access to the stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI can\u2019t provide them with that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Working off thin profit margins, the \u00a320,000 it would cost him to install a lift isn\u2019t feasible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThese people have got a right to perform their music, and I should be in a position to allow them to perform\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Solutions have been discussed to help support the industry. Levies on arena and stadium shows to support grassroots venues are <a href=\"https:\/\/committees.parliament.uk\/publications\/44704\/documents\/222242\/default\/\">widely accepted as necessary<\/a> throughout the industry, but whilst Bristol launched a voluntary levy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/articles\/cg57z04dm2jo\">recently<\/a>, Sheffield has no such scheme locally or nationally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Such a levy would be transformative, helping to support an industry that generated <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/business\/article\/2024\/sep\/04\/economic-impact-of-uk-live-music-industry-hits-record#:~:text=Spending%20on%20the%20UK%20live,to%20attend%20shows%20in%20person.\">over \u00a36 billion<\/a> for the economy in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To look at the figures, it becomes clear that the Dorothy Pax&#8217;s situation is not unusual. Without further support, the future of a cultural scene that the city prides itself on is far from certain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over 40% of grassroots venues in the UK are losing money, according to figures from the Music Venue Trust.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":218,"featured_media":71929,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[46,6],"tags":[2061,76,9],"class_list":["post-71636","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-long-reads","category-news","tag-independent","tag-music","tag-sheffield"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
