Jigsawing for UK Music Venues

Aim

I am raising money for a charitable cause that is very important to me so please donate and help me reach my target

#saveourvenues

Gigs are off the menu for me right now, both as performer and gig-goer. In quarantine, I'm doing what a lot of people are doing—reading, schooling, enjoying family time and... doing jigsaw puzzles.

So I'm doing a sponsored jigsaw-solve for the Music Venue Trust's #saveourvenues campaign. I'll aim to to complete one 1000-piece jigsaw for every £100 raised - that's just 10p per piece! The more I raise the more I'll finish... and my kids will help (a bit).

556 grassroots music venues in the UK are at imminent risk of being closed permanently. Without these venues the opportunities for artists and audiences to connect in a meaningful way at a local level will simply disappear.

I've had formative experiences in a lot of these venues, both onstage and off. These spaces have provided opportunities, communities and platforms for all kinds of expression, and been key in empowering the most-cherished artists of the last generation. All of them deserve the chance to survive.
