Novelist is the 2019 Independent Venue Week Ambassador

Novelist has been announced as the is the 2019 Independent Venue Week Ambassador.

The event - which celebrates the UK’s local venues as the name suggests - takes place between 28th January and 3rd February.

“I thoroughly enjoy having a close connection to my fans and the opportunity to entertain and interact at close quarters gives me the best buzz” he said. “They almost become a part of the performance and I get to rave with them. It’s a blessing.”

“What’s so exciting about having an artist like Novelist as ambassador is that we can bring together a musician with venues and gig goers that might not have crossed paths before, all around the country” adds Chloe “Colin” Ward, Director of IVW UK. “Bringing something new to IVW is so important to us every year and Nov is a huge supporter of young people. We are looking at routing a tour at venues which have a strong, local youth community partnership.”

Other acts lined up to participate include Black Midi, Swim Deep, Heavy Lungs and Pip Blom.
