Opportunity to host an ALMBC in-person session at your venue

Be part of the leading national organisation for grass roots live music.
The ALMBC has developed this simple definition – “A Grassroots Music Venue is a venue run by music lovers, predominately features live music and is a cultural incubator that takes risks on investing in emerging talent.”
To be clearer, here are a few points:
Musicians and audiences in your town know that you are a grass roots venue
The focus of your venue is on live music (including live original music) and the venue’s reputation is made by the music it programmes.
You take risks with programming and often make no major profit, investing your time and effort into the future potential of artists and live music in general
You are known as a partner or leader within your local music community – collaborating and sharing knowledge and expertise with others in the scene
