#BrightonMusic #SheffieldMusic #MusicIndustry #MusicCollege #IndependentArtists
We are thrilled to announce WaterBear’s ‘Keeping Music Live’ campaign!

‘Keeping Music Live’ aims to raise awareness of the vital importance of independent grassroots music venues to the UK’s music ecosystem, and its emerging bands, artists and music professionals!

While the mainstream music industry is thriving, the grassroots sector is struggling to survive. We believe that by supporting grassroots venues, we can all play a crucial role in nurturing the next generation of musical talent and ensuring the vibrant continuation of the UK's rich musical heritage.

Whilst we embrace innovation, WaterBear’s belief in ‘Keeping Music Live’ and the enduring magic and potential of grassroots venues has always been firmly embedded within our DIY ethos. It’s a cornerstone within our dynamic community of up-and-coming creatives.

With the full support of the and our other incredible grassroots partners, WaterBear are amplifying our commitment to put on regular vibrant shows featuring our musicians at independent venues up and down the country. We are looking to add new venues in Brighton and Sheffield to our existing WaterBear Venue on the South Coast, and much, much more.

Here’s to Keeping Music Live! Stay tuned for more updates about our campaign at WaterBear over the coming months!
