Please share and write to your MP to save venues like ours from permanent closure

An Open Letter to the Chancellor, Jeremy Hunt

Grassroots Music Venues need your help. They need you to extend the existing 75% Business Rate Relief beyond April 2024 in the Autumn statement.

The Grassroots Music Sector is in the middle of a full-blown crisis. 125 venues have shut their doors for live music in the last 12 months, 15.7% of all such spaces in the UK. It represents the loss of 4,000 jobs, 14,250 events, 193,230 performance opportunities, £9 million of income for musicians, and £59 million in lost direct economic activity.

15.7% fewer venues is an immediate economic, social, and cultural blow to the 125 local communities that have lost access to live music. These were treasured places that bond our communities together, foster pride in the places we live, drive creativity and create aspiration. For the British music economy, an area of the creative industries in which we are world leaders, this is 15.7% fewer research and development opportunities to support the next wave of British talent. The Secretary of State for Culture, Media, and Sport, Lucy Frazer, recognised the essential R&D role that Grassroots Music Venues play in the DCMS Creative Industries Sector Vision in July 2023. In that report, DCMS invested an additional £5 million into Arts Council England’s Supporting Grassroots Live Music fund specifically to support the grassroots sector because of its vital R&D role.

In January 2020, prior to the pandemic, Rishi Sunak created a special 50% Business Rates relief for Grassroots Music Venues which recognised the importance of these spaces. The Prime Minister, when he was Chancellor, chose to acknowledge that the current Business Rates system is an egregious and inequitable tax on Grassroots Music Venues that needs reform. Knowing that reform would take time, he chose to reduce the Business Rate bills faced by Grassroots Music Venues by 50%. That relief was extended to 100% during the pandemic, then reduced to 75% in the post pandemic economic climate.

The current 75% Rates Relief protects Grassroots Music Venues from an excessive and poorly reasoned taxation. Removing it would increase costs to the sector by £15 million. In 2022, the entire sector returned a profit margin of just 0.2%, £1 million in cash terms on a total turnover of £500 million.

If you remove the Rates Relief, you will plunge the entire Grassroots sector into the red. Venues must and will close as a result. Even more local communities will lose their access to live music. Artists will have nowhere to start their careers. More job losses, less economic activity, less Research and Development. The UK risks producing fewer world-beating artists as a direct result of the decision you make on this issue in your Autumn Statement.

You have said you don’t have the economic conditions to consider tax cuts. Grassroots Music Venues don’t have the economic conditions to allow tax rises.
Please extend the 75% Business Rates Relief beyond April 2024 in your Autumn Statement

We're over the moon to finally be able to announce that we have received a grant from round 3 of the Pipeline Investment Fund managed by Music Venue Trust. This grant will allow us to make the area around our building safer, more vibrant and more obviously loved by allowing us to install colourful exterior lighting and an upgraded CCTV system. We can't wait to share the results of this investment with you all really soon!
