Lewis Capaldi will perform a Scottish livestream show to help raise awareness and funds for grassroots music venues across the UK.
The Glasgow-based singer-songwriter will perform a 30-minute set at an intimate venue as part of Amazon Prime Day Live presented by Amazon Music in support of the Music Venue Trust. Additionally, rising Stop This Flame singer Celeste will play at a venue in England, while Cate Le Bon will be streaming from Wales.
The performances will be broadcast from 7pm to 9pm BST on October 9 via Twitch and the Amazon Music app. Donations will benefit UK grassroots music venues, which could face closure as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Mark Davyd, founder and Chief Executive Officer of the Music Venue Trust said:
"Many of the UK’s iconic grassroots music venues remain at significant risk of permanent closure, which is not just catastrophic for everyone associated with each and every venue, but for UK music culture in general.
"Amazon Music was one of the first donors for our COVID-19 Crisis fund earlier this year, and we're excited they are continuing their support through this Prime Day Live event to help us raise awareness of the plight of venues and help drive much-needed donations to keep them open. Every penny helps, so we are also hugely grateful for Amazon’s donations and any further support from the public."
Head of Amazon Music UK, Patrick Clifton added:
"Prime Day Live will help raise awareness of the plight of important grassroots music venues that are so integral to music culture in the UK, as well as raise funds to help support them. It will bring music fans closer to some of their favourite artists through an evening of great music that can be enjoyed for free at home. Seeing these artists reconnect with some of the live music venues that are a part of their musical journeys will be a special moment."
