Music Venue Trust announces new patrons

Five new patrons from across the music industry are joining the Music Venue Trust (MVT).

They include London based grime-punk duo BOB VYLAN, Welsh rock group JAMES AND THE COLD GUN and Rhythm Section International label boss BRADLEY ZERO.

Record producers and DJs DANIEL AVERY and MR SCRUFF have also been appointed.

MVT says the new appointees underline the important relationship between grassroots music venues, artist communities and the wider music industry.

"We are incredibly grateful for the commitment and breadth of knowledge and experience our patrons bring to MVT, so it is with great pride that we announce the newest members of our team," said MVT Strategic Director Beverley Whitrick.
