麻豆约拍

James Bay told 麻豆约拍 Radio 5 Live how important small music venues are to the industry, and why he doesn't want to see them close.

After four months of enforced closure, a venue in Hull has been shut down, whilst it looked like 2 more in Manchester were set to shut, but have since found a buyer.

Speaking to Nihal Arthanayake, James said: "Without them [music venues], there's a huge, huge chance that I wouldn't be talking to you now, I needed those places to go in."
