INDIE50 seeks to celebrate heroes of local music scene
This can be anyone from photographers, fanzine writers, sound technicians, venue owners, door staff, tireless promoters, designers – whoever makes an impact who deserves some credit for what they do and contribute to the industry.
The idea is to shine a light on some of the characters that may be lurking in the shadows of the live circuit, but make it what it is – those who underpin it, who are its foundations, but do not get any credit for their efforts. Nominations can be made here: www.indie50.co.uk.
