Independent Venue Week: Chalk visit The Limelight in Belfast.

Huw Stephens

Available for 14 days

Throughout Independent Venue Week this week, Huw turns the spotlight on the grassroots spaces that keep UK music alive. Across the week, Huw explores the current state of independent venues, hearing from the people fighting to protect them and the communities built around them. Expect stories from those working and playing there reflecting on why these venues matter more than ever, and music from artists whose journeys began on their stages. It’s a celebration of the UK’s most cherished independent venues – past, present and future – and a reminder of why they remain the beating heart of the music industry. Chalk also head to The Limelight in Northern Ireland — a cornerstone of Belfast’s live music culture and a vital launching pad for emerging artists. Produced by BBC Audio In Cardiff for BBC Radio 6 Music.
