Independent Venue Week with Franz Ferdinand

BBC Radio 6 Music - Steve Lamacq, Independent Venue Week with Franz Ferdinand

Steve shines a spotlight on PJ Molloys in Dunfermline & chats with Franz Ferdinand.

We're celebrating Independent Venue Week with a series of special shows focusing on a different venue each day. Today, Steve shines a spotlight on PJ Molloys in Dunfermline.

All this week we're celebrating Independent Venue Week with a series of special shows by shining a light on a different venue each day and discussing the role independent venues play in their community and the challenges they've faced over the past few years. 

Today, Steve shines a spotlight on PJ Molloys in Dunfermline. He’ll speak to Scottish rock band Franz Ferdinand, who will perform a track live from the venue, before they take to the PJ Molloys stage for a special show for 6 Music that evening. Steve also welcomes frontman of The Skids, Richard Jobson to the show, to give listeners his memories of growing up in Dunfermline. Plus, BBC Scotland's Vic Galloway gives us musical tour of Dunfermline and Steve will revisit tracks from some of the very best Independent Venue Week gigs that have been broadcast on 6 Music in previous years.

Steve says: “Independent Venue Week has always played a vital role in helping grassroots venues at a financially perilous time of year. But this time round, it’s even more important to help support the live music circuit after it’s been hit so hard by COVID. It's a chance for us all to rally round and celebrate just how important these places are to emerging artists and alternative performers. We’ve lined up some of our favourite new and established acts for a week of gigs in small grassroots venues around the country and we’ll be talking to promoters and fans about why live gigs remain so important to the music community.”
