With lockdown measures easing in the UK, there is still a great deal of uncertainty of what the future holds for many sectors.
The music industry has been hit particularly hard. Now, more than 550 of the UK’s grassroots music venues are trying to find ways to prevent permanent closure due to the coronavirus crisis.
Venues around the country are doing their bit to fight back in the face of the pandemic, and the Music Venue Trust recently launched the Save Our Venues campaign to raise awareness and swell the coffers.
Unit Nine is part of this national initiative and has recently set up its own crowdfunding page here

Donations will be used to help pay for costs associated with running a venue, even when the doors are closed.
If they hit their target and prevent the closure of their venue, everything above the amount they need will be donated to the Music Venue Trust GMV Crisis Fund to protect other venues just like Unit Nine across the UK.
Unit Nine has also launched a record label; a cover of Bridge Over Troubled Water is available from today (Friday) on all major online streaming platforms. All those singers taking part are from Milton Keynes and have a connection with the venue.
