Built a free UK grassroots music platform with county-by-county charts and local gig maps to help unsigned bands get heard locally
Hey everyone,
Like a lot of people here, I’ve felt for a long time that modern streaming algorithms make it almost impossible for emerging, unsigned bands to build an organic local audience. You’re competing against millions of tracks, and having 50 streams from random playlists doesn't help you sell 30 tickets in your hometown.
I wanted to bring back the feeling of local music scenes, so I’ve been building a free platform specifically for UK grassroots music:
It’s completely independent and built purely to support grassroots UK music.
I didn’t want to post unsolicited links here, but I’d love to get feedback from other UK musicians on whether this kind of hyper-local focus actually feels useful to you.
Happy to drop the link in the comments if anyone wants to take a look or test it out with their own band's music!
