As part of Independent Venue Week 2022 Modern Age Music Roots has a great show coming up at The Brunswick Pub, Brighton!

Independent Venue Week is a 7-day celebration of music venues around the country and a nod to the people that own, run and work in them, week in, week out. These venues give artists their first experience of playing live in front of an audience. They give fans somewhere to get up close to artists that one day, may well be playing stadiums and festival main stages. They also provide those wanting a career in music, off the stage, the chance to learn their craft up close in a small venue. Independent Venue Week is unique in that it is a nationwide initiative with a completely local feel.

On Sunday 6th Feb Modern Age Music Roots presents Ags Connolly + Georgia Nevada

Ags Connolly is a traditional country artist from England, considered to be one of the best country singer-songwriters ever to emerge from the UK. Described by Country Music People – the longest-running country music magazine in the world – as “a national treasure”, Ags’ third album ‘Wrong Again’ was released in November 2019. It was named Album Of The Year at the UK Country Music Awards in 2020. The Oxfordshire native is a constant presence on the UK and Europe touring circuit, sharing stages over the years with the likes of Rosanne Cash and Dale Watson whilst continuing to defend the last outpost of the genre’s traditional roots.
