Libraries – Get it Loud in Libraries

TRANSFORMING VENUES AND DEVELOPING AUDIENCES

We work with a range of libraries across the UK including in towns and cities such as Lancaster, Wigtown, Coventry, Liverpool, Hull, Oldham, Blackpool and many more. We work with libraries and other cultural venues to support them opening their doors to new audiences and use their space for live music events.

In addition to working with libraries and cultural venues that are part of our core funded programmes, and doing one-off commissions, we have also launched Get It Loud In Libraries indie. This strand of our work is designed to support libraries and other venues to run gigs using our materials, practices and ethos, but to do so independently of GILIL.

This means that libraries can book the artists that they want to appear in their setting and use this to cultivate their own audiences, generate income and bring awesome live music to their area. To be a part of the GILIL indie network, libraries need to purchase an annual licence. As part of the licensing agreement, GILIL will provide comprehension support for libraries to develop their programme. There are three tiers with different levels of support to meet library need.
