To empower Disabled, Deaf and Neurodivergent people in music venues , a new charity called ‘Attitude Is Everything’ is building a network of promoters and venues along with training provision with the goal of making them more accessible.
Calling all promoters.
Just Ask.
This is an industry wide invitation for promoters to join our #JustAsk campaign, developed alongside @IVW_UK and piloted at #IVW22 🎵

Using the ‘Just Ask’ guidance created by Independent Venue Week, the charity calls on promoters to ask disabled musicians if they require any adaptations or specialist equipment for gigs.
The Long term goal is for the Just Ask guidelines to be implemented in music venues across the UK. Many disabled artists feel unable to ask for better accessibility at present leading to a knock on effect on their overall wellbeing. It is hoped this will change through the efforts of ‘Attitude Is Everything.’
