HIGH GREEN MONKEY DONATES GUITAR HIGH Green rockers Arctic Monkeys are raising money for The Leadmill in Sheffield and other independent grassroots music venues across the UK, with Alex Turner donating one of his prized guitars. During the early stages of their career, the band performed at numerous small music venues around the country and regularly played at The Leadmill. The impact of Covid-19 has been devastating for all music venues and particularly those independent venues who have provided a stage for countless artists at the very start of their careers. The Leadmill is a Sheffield venue that has played host to an incredible amount of talent over the past four decades including Pulp, Coldplay, Arcade Fire, Muse, Oasis, Stone Roses, The White Stripes, Jorja Smith, Michael Kiwanuka as well as Arctic Monkeys. Since closing their doors back in March, The Leadmill has had to work to reschedule or cancel over 120 events. With no clear opening
date on the horizon, the future of this legendary Sheffield venue and the dedicated staff who run it, is now uncertain. In an effort to raise critical funds to help support The Leadmill and numerous other grassroots music venues in the UK, Alex Turner has offered to raffle his black Fender Stratocaster guitar which he used for many of the band’s early performances including shows at The Leadmill and Reading Festival in 2006. Everyone who enters the draw will gain access to an exclusive viewing of the band’s performance at Reading Festival in 2006. Access to view the performance will be invite only and will be shown at 8pm on Wednesday August 26 and will remain available for 24 hours. Everyone who enters the draw will be sent a link two hours before it begins via email. All funds raised will go to The Music Venue Trust to support The Leadmill in Sheffield and other independent grassroots music venues across the UK.
