Future Yard: The Open Fund for Organisations
FUTURE YARD has been established to re-imagine the role of a live music venue. At the heart of the vision is providing a space for local young people to develop the skills needed to pursue careers in the international live music industry. Alongside this in-venue training, Future Yard will also provide an innovative new artist development hub, providing the support and a platform for emerging new artists to shape their music careers.
NEAR NORMAL is a series of socially-distanced & digitally-streamed live shows taking place at FUTURE YARD: a brand new live music venue opening in Birkenhead this autumn. Conceived as a first step in re-opening live music venues post-COVID, the events will marry a small in-venue audience with a high-quality, ticketed digital live stream.
This NEAR NORMAL series will see the first events staged at FUTURE YARD, a community music venue set to host a range of national & international touring artists, while providing a first stage for emerging local talent on Merseyside.
