Regular performers on the Walsall scene are being joined by open mic hosts, rehearsal room owners, music teachers and bands from Walsall’s past who have reunited ready for the occasion.<\/p>\n
A spokesperson for the group said: “Prior to the pandemic, Walsall had more than twice as many live music venues and a much larger community supporting the music. <\/p>\n
“The label of most deprived town is not something we can dismiss – it is our reality and a symptom of being kicked while we were already down through the successive cost of living crises that have followed the pandemic. <\/p>\n
“The closure of the Oak demonstrated the existential threat for grassroots music scenes faced through the socio-economic conditions we find ourselves in.”<\/p>\n
They added: “Collectively, we’re fighting back, building a community-driven future as we can’t wait for the local or national government to build one for us. <\/p>\n
“We want to make it clear that there is a space for everyone here, musicians and music fans alike.”<\/p>\n
The group hosted warm up events in Walsall town centre on 18 and 25 April, while the full launch will take place on 1 May at Hednesford Ex Servicemen’s Club.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
