Venue Stories is an anthology of creative non-fiction that
remembers, celebrates and reinvigorates our complex and plural
relationship with small and independent music spaces. Written by
musicians, promoters, fans and academics who have a shared passion
for small music venues and musical cultures in all their splendid
variety, this anthology features memoir, essays, life writing,
historiography and autoethnography. Each chapter is united by a
focus on the personal, the sensory and half-remembered. These are
stories that cross disciplinary lines and blur distinctions between
creativity, reportage and critical analysis. Venue Stories pays a
visit to the toilet venues, back rooms and ad-hoc club nights that
make up so much of our musical landscape. It spends time in small
and local venues and asks what they mean in personal and cultural
terms. Writers visit celebrated spots, long forgotten spaces and
emergent venues. Whatever the lineage, they are independent,
original and wonderfully weird. The stories are memories of seismic
gigs and life-altering raves. They are mosaic remembrances and
recollections; funny, heart-breaking, rage induced and sometimes a
combination of all of these things. This is a collection of stories
by and for fans, band members, merch sellers, pint pullers,
journalists with a freebie, roadies with a backache and sound techs
with an earache.
