Small venues are where music lives — not in arenas, but in rooms where you feel the bass in your chest. Inside the 22 in Warwickshire got this. Free entry. No barriers. Artists like All Saints and Chris Helme sharing a stage with local talent like Brian Corbett and Thea Watson. But grassroots music is fragile: keeping venues alive takes relentless work when budgets are tight, and attention spans are short. Live for the Weekend became the rhythm behind everything — weekly emails, social campaigns, and the ongoing craft (and graft) to keep the doors open and the room full. When a venue gives musicians their first break and music lovers a place to gather, it becomes more than a shared space. It starts a pulse for a community that thrives on sound, feeling and connection.
