Monday night at The Louisiana, a staple of Bristol’s busy live music scene, with its New Orleans French Quarter-inspired exterior and family-friendly pub interior, brought the second night of the ‘A Summer To Save Music’ series by Music For The Many.

Opening the night was another Music For The Many returning artist, Generation Feral, who impressed the audience with her unique blend of rock-tinged folk.

Generation Feral’s set was rapturously received and those in the lively audience ensured a warm welcome back to the Music For The Many stage.

Following this, the night’s headliners Yakkie took to the stage for one of their first ever performances outside of London.

Through their storming 40 minute set, Yakkie‘s punk-inspired anthems touched on subjects such as toxic masculinity, inclusive feminism, the climate crisis and building hope for the future.

The punk genre has historically been shaped by the political world and its many failings. In Yakkie’s performance, the tradition remains alive, and highlights the importance of grassroots music venues in building resistance and community through the arts.

'A Summer To Save Music' is a new series launched by the Music For The Many campaign to highlight the need for urgent need for government action to secure the future of British music. This run of shows will visit six different cities with six different line-ups throughout the month of June.

The remaining dates are as follows:
12 JUNE Birkenhead, Future Yard (with ARXX, Fire Exit and Dog Minder)
19 JUNE Brighton, Prince Albert (with Hongza and special guests)
24 JUNE Norwich, Voodoo Daddy's (with Kid Bookie and DeadWax)
30 JUNE Manchester, Day & Night Cafe (with The Menstrual Cramps and We Are The Weirdos)
