  6. Sad to hear that the venerable 8x10 music venue in Baltimore's Federal Hill, will be closing permanently soon. Grateful I got to play at it a handful of times back in the early 1990's, along with seeing a bunch of great shows there as well. Here's some artifacts I've saved from shows I played at there, from back in the day, pre- internetz, when printing & posting flyers for shows was what you did. Sometimes I miss flyer art, and I certainly miss a growing list of now closed music venues I came up with.

  8. In the midst of a lot of grim #music news, it's always encouraging to read about DIY success stories (and eagle-eyed folks might spot that one of the venues mentioned is also listed on dodiy.org). 🎤🐦‍⬛

  9. CW: Long post about accessibility at gigs

    It is possible that everything will work out and the event will go just fine. I really hope so.

    But the amount of anxiety they’ve caused leading up to something I should be really looking forward to has massively dampened the excitement so far.

  10. CW: Long post about accessibility at gigs

    I didn’t even include the bit about how the castle is right next to several car parks including disabled parking close by.
    They keep telling me the new venue is only 15-20 minutes walk away but it makes a huge difference in terms of accessibility.

  11. CW: Long post about accessibility at gigs

    We're seeing Alanis Morissette this time next week. It's the last of the "stuff I missed out on in my youth" gigs this year and the first I booked when I found out about it back in January.

    I've not been to gigs for a long time due to costs/accessibility and going again this year as a #Disabled person has been challenging but mostly it's all generally worked out ok.

    But this Alanis gig has been the most stressful of them all and I'm starting to actually dread it and honestly, that feels pretty bloody bad.

    It started when they changed the venue. It was supposed to be Cardiff Castle - a well known and established venue with plenty of reviews and reports of the accessibility available online.
    Because of "demand" (greed of the organisers) it was moved to a field about 15-20 minutes walk away at Blackweir Fields.

    I've been voicing my concerns about the accessibility to the organisers via email since they notified me of the move. As best as I can tell, they haven't ever put on a live music event at this location, certainly not to this scale - Cardiff Castle was 9000, Blackweir is somewhere around 35000. So I have no idea about the arrangements outside of what little the organiser Cuffe & Taylor have said.

    I've twice had to inform them links on their website don't work, including their "Accessibility Pack" that was supposedly available weeks ago but amazingly, literally not actually accessible to view from any browser or device I tried.

    Strangely, it is now - just minutes before I got a response to my last email telling them about it.

    I have only just had it confirmed there'll be metal tracking at least between the entrance and the accessible platform.
    The "sensory tent" for neurodivergent ticketholders however, is about as far from the platform as it can get and without tracking. So almost certainly inaccessible if it rains and the ground is muddy.

    Then they've just told me that my "essential companion" ticket does not include a chair (you cannot take your own as chairs are on the list of banned items, which also includes umbrellas). They expect D to stand next to me the entire gig. I've told them how ridiculous that is and how it would make communication difficult and potentially painful. Also, depending on how they've set the platform up, wtf is a wheelchair user behind a standing carer supposed to do? Or are they going to line up the carers to the side like waiting servants?

    It's all so... exhausting.
    I'm so close to just not going and trying to get a refund.

    It really shouldn't be this fucking difficult should it?

  12. As someone who struggles with crowded places for several reasons, I wish more #MusicVenues would include notes about venue size, or a floor plan, or even just a sense of whether or not a show is seated.

    Makes it really hard to spring for tickets when you have no idea whether you'll be able to find a comfortable spot (physically and mentally). Smaller venues are often the worst for this.

  13. "A new generation which has grown up with a fresh sense of involvement will make radical alterations in the overall character of the music scene. The symphony hall and the opera house will be treated for what they are: museums for keeping the treasures of the past. The real musical life will be governed again by music of its own time."

  14. Co-op Live. Just the name alone is a bit "what?". Wish them well but they will mostly be hosting premium priced acts whilst the struggling smaller venues get little help and investment. #CoOpLive #UK #Manchester #MusicVenues

  17. @glynmoody I'd much rather #SadiqKahn spent energy saving the 100s of #musicvenues #London DOES have, or rather DID have: #gentrification wounded the #musicscene & #covid finished it off. There are already tons of large #venues, where are the small/mid-size ones the #music industry needs?
