“Our Place” Impact Project: Working with UK Grassroots Music Venues
The InterMusE team is working on a short-term impact project called Our Place, which is working to create a digital legacy for grassroots music venues in the UK.
From folk clubs to club nights, grassroots music venues and initiatives are deeply embedded in community life. Many of these places are home to records, artefacts, ephemera such as gig posters, and other materials that are at risk of being lost or damaged. We are working to assess the scale of this risk and produce a series of free ‘DIY digital archiving kits’ for local venues.
We need your help!
We are asking the public to fill in a short questionnaire to help us identify venues and materials. Whether it’s a nightclub, local pub, church hall or community library, if you know of a venue, please tell us about it. The questionnaire should take around 15 minutes to complete and closes on 25 July 2021.
Please help us spread the word! Share the questionnaire or project webpage with any friends or colleagues who may be interested in taking part.
If you have any questions about the project or our questionnaire, please get in touch ( ch*****************@yo**.uk ).
PLEASE HELP ME
My name is Aziz Badawi, I’m 27 year old man from Palestine. Our town has recently evacuated due
to bombardments by Israel, now I am staying at a shelter with my 6 year old daughter Nadia. My wife is
dead and I’m the only one left to take care of my daughter as we are not allowed to depart to my parents house
in Nablus, she is sick with a congenital heart defect and I have no way to afford the medicine she needs anymore.
People here at the shelter are much in the same conditions as ourselves…
I’m looking for a kind soul who can help us with a donation, any amount will help even 1$ we will
save money to get her medicine, the doctor at the shelter said if I can’t find a way to get her the
medication she needs her little heart may give out during the coming weeks.
If you wish to help me and my daughter please make any amount donation in bitcoin cryptocurrency
