The LMMP map goes live Monday 23 March.
340+ venues. 143k+ seats.
Birmingham's full musical heritage
56% of 1k+ survey respondents want heritage tours and sound walks as part of Birmingham's music experience.
That's not a niche.
That's a mainstream expectation

Birmingham doesn't produce artists who sound like Birmingham. It produces artists the whole world claims as their own.
That's the mark of a city that genuinely changed music. Every response shapes how this city's story gets told.

Academics from across the University of Liverpool have secured a substantial Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) Catalyst grant for a new groundbreaking project which will benefit the UK music sector.
Dr Mathew Flynn in the Department of Music, in collaboration with Professor Alex Singleton from the Geographic Data Service and Dr Yang Zhang at the Virtual Engineering Centre (VEC) secured the £299,996 award for The Live Music Mapping Project 2.0: Automating the Mapping, Modelling and Measuring of the Impacts of Regional Live Music Sectors.
The two-year project will develop an automated system for gathering and analysing live music data to provide industry partners and policymakers with reliable, timely insights into the music sector's regional impact. Using machine learning, the project will automate data collection processes that traditionally relied on labour intensive, manual methods. This will enable real-time mapping and robust data analysis on key social, cultural and economic indicators of the music industry.
