You've heard of Record Store Day and Independent Label Market, championing our independent record shops and labels. Well, it's about time someone showed independent gig venues some love...and that's just what will be happening during the week commencing 28th January 2014.

18 venues across the UK will do what they do best, put on some gigs! But curated by well known artists, promoters, music blogs and the like to draw attention to these smaller venues who often struggle in the face of other music venues with corporate sponsorship and backing. So circle this week in your diary and sit tight for announcements on events that will take place during the week. Check out the link below for more details, plus a list of the UK gig venues participating.
