Welcome to Billy Bragg's live-streamed concert in support of Sheffield Leadmill, as part of a national initiative launched by Music Venue Trust to help prevent the closure of hundreds of independent music venues across the UK.

Throughout the UK, venues are facing permanent closure because they are unable to generate enough income to cover even their reduced costs during this period of isolation. Most of their income comes from ticket sales and bar sales—both of which are at a low or nonexistent level due to the forced closure of venues.

Any money raised through this fundraising effort will be split 50/50 between The Leadmill and the national pot of Music Venue Trust to help save UK venues from closure.

So enjoy the concert and make a donation to Leadmill's Crowdfunder page—even if you're watching after the event.

On behalf of myself, Leadmill, and the Music Venue Trust, thank you for your support.
