The new Music Venue Trust report is live for 2025 - and it shows 6000 job losses in the sector, with more than 50% of grassroots music venues turning over less than 0.5% of their turnover in profit.

Go and watch one grassroots music per month that you wouldn't have otherwise.

It might be the push a venue needs to stay in profitability.

Our Annual Report highlights the stark truth that 59% of grassroots music venues no longer receive regular national touring shows. Whole regions - towns and cities with millions of people - have effectively vanished from the UK’s touring map.

That means lost jobs, as we've already reported, struggling venues, declining audiences, and an industry shrinking into a handful of big cities.

But we’re not standing still.

MVT and Liveline funding helps venues to grow, and not just stay open - giving them the tools to rejoin the touring circuit. We also invest directly in tours to towns and cities that have fallen off the national map, proving there is an audience and value in returning.

The live music map shouldn't be postcode-dependent. We all know that some of the greatest scenes in UK music history have come from all over the nations, in all sorts of pockets in the North, South, East, West, and Midlands. We’re working to make sure every community can access live music, and every artist can build a real national audience.

Read our report at www.MusicVenueTrust.com to find out what's happening across the nations, with an additional focus on Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.

DRUMMISTS

We need you.

Well... we don't really need you. We need your left over wooden splinters of sacrifice.

After you've finished destroying your overpriced and overengineered chopsticks, please consider donating them to our reception desk (literally).

We have an insane idea for a new DIY project and we want to immortalise the fallen from squads 7A, 5A, 5B, 2B and reserves who never quite made it to stage.

At ease!

New Beginnings.

I would like to ask you all to join me in celebrating someone you all know.

Our treasured Lewis Rainbow-Hindmarsh left Sound Inc in December, and will be firing on all cylinders with his recording career as "LRH Recordings" from here on out.

Lewis volunteered on a work experience placement with us as a young mind curious about the music industry, and then quickly became an irreplaceable part of our team.

He was with us across 8 years through thick and thin, and brought his love of music, coffee and people to hundreds of bands and artists during his stay. He truly is an OG member of Team Sound Inc. The longest ever serving member to be exact.

I know how many of you have connected with Lewis over the years and I would like to invite you to wish him well in the comments.

You can follow the next stage of his journey here:

Lewis mate, I miss you already.
All of my very best for your future endeavours.

Never change.

Luke.

We had the pleasure of hosting Abigail, Lizzie, Emily, Georgia and Aurora from the wonderful The Last Dinner Party with current drummer Dave yesterday for a quick mid-tour rehearsal (and a few mince pies). You were all mint company and we hope to see you again very soon.

A huge shout out to their techs, Annie, Georgia, Hannah and Toby. Consummate professionals with great energy and a shared passion for caffeine. It was lush.

The Last Dinner Party are playing Newcastle City Hall this evening, and are on tour in the UK until December 8th. Go check out their new album: "From The Pyre" now.

--- June 2025 pricing tweaks ---

As you've all probably seen around the studios, our pricing will be streamlined in a couple of days time.

The main change is that weekends will no longer be classed as "Off Peak" times. We are reverting back to weekends being classed as standard rehearsal time.

Our discounts are bigger and more useful than ever before though.

👩‍🎓 Student ID -------- 5% discount
🚑 Blue Light Card --- 5% discount
🏫 Under 18 --------- 10% discount

You can mix and stack up to 4 discounts per session (1 per paying member) for a max discount of 40%. This will apply after calculating any rehearsal duration discounts, and is available any time in the week.

We've designed our pricing and discounts so that they improve equitability. We're aiming for rates as fair as possible whether you're rocking out as a solo musician or as a full band.

*Valid student cards / blue light cards / IDs needed to claim discount.

See you at "The Inc" soon, Rockstar.

You ready? Ready to rock out and start prepping for those summer shows? They're creeping up - it's May - you sure you've tightened up your set?
