Today鈥檚 Castaways 鈥� are two of the legends behind Independent Venue Week: Founder Sybil Bell and her right-hand woman Colin (AKA Chloe Ward)

Sybil spoke to us from Leeds, just before heading to Liverpool for Lammo鈥檚 final IVW show of the week, which will feature a performance from Idles (the Bristol band behind his album of 2017) live from Liverpool鈥檚 Studio 2 venue.

Sybil and Chloe have been on the road all week, visiting venues around the country, 鈥渕eeting the wonderful owners and operators who keep the circuit alive and watching some brilliant bands.鈥�

And IVW continues over the weekend. On Saturday they鈥檙e heading to The Trades Club in Hebden Bridge (where Nadine Shah is performing, supported by Life) and on Sunday, they鈥檒l head to The Grayston Unity in Halifax

Now in its fifth year, there are 172 venues taking part, in over 80 locations all around the UK (a significant rise from 17 venues in year one). And they've five excellent champions: Adrian Utley (Portishead), Nadine Shah, Jamie Cullum, Darryl McDaniels (Run DMC) and prolific Bristol gig-goer Big Jeff Johns 鈥� their first non-artist ambassador.
