Why does music need small venues?
Certain Audiences can't get to the bigger venues.
They start you off in the music industry.
The acts aren't big enough to play in the bigger venues.
In some cases small venues need the music, which can create more income.
Large venues
Advantages:
-They can fit more people
-There can be more space for the performer to get ready
-More money= More time to play = More money
-More space for the audience to move about
Disadvantages:
-Usually can cost more money
-Usually in built up areas making it harder for the audience to get there
Small venues
Advantages:
-Usually cost less money
-The audience tend to live locally to the venue so it is easier for them to get there
-Usually located in less busy areas.
-Usually are in a busy and built up area so it is harder for people to get to
Disadvantages:
-Can't fit as many people
-May become very crowded
-If they do not live locally to the venue, people may struggle to get there
-There may not be direct transport to the venue.
Health and Safety
In a venue that has a lot of live music there will be a lot of wires around and these must all be taped down, with white tape, so that people can see them and to prevent anyone tripping over them
A venue must have fire exits and at least two with disabled access.
The number of fire exits a venue has determines it’s capacity, so they are generally designed to incorporate a lot of fire exits. Of course there is a limit to any venues capacity so they must employ bouncers to guard the doors once it is full, and also to turn away any unsuitable customers e.g. if they are underage.
There has to be employed bouncers to guard the doors once it is full.
Venues must provide water for free and provide accessible toilets.
Steps or obstacles must be clearly lit to prevent people from crashing into them or falling down.
In the case that somebody does get hurt a first aid trainer must be on hand to deal with it.
If the venue plays music over 85db they must provide earplugs to stop peoples ears getting damaged by the noise.
If there is strobe lighting, venues must warn the audience of this using signs and make sure that the strobe is legal as to many flashes per second is against the law.
There must be no smoking signs at all entrances, because people are not allowed to smoke in public places.
If a venue does not commit to these health and safety regulations then they can be shut down.
