About the event
WE'RE NOT WAITING FOR CHANGE : WE'RE CREATING IT
After 25 years of pouring our hearts into Chai Wallahs, our award-winning independent festival touring venue, and proud champion of grassroots culture and independent musicians; we are at breaking point and we are not alone!
The grassroots live sector stands at a crossroads. Grassroots venues are closing, independent festivals are collapsing, the squeeze of corporate dominance and creeping Government authoritarianism is being felt across the landscape, and the creative ecosystem that once defined British culture is under threat. However, there is a solution, and a new movement is on the rise.
