Phil Selway on BBC Radio 6

Phil Selway is an ambassador for Independent Venue Week in its tenth year, with more than 300 venues taking part. It goes back to a documentary he fronted in 2019, which took him round venues he had played with the band and on his own. What interested him were the people running them more than the rooms, and the motivation and goodwill they pour into keeping them open.

Colin Greenwood was the week's first ambassador a decade earlier, and Selway thinks that says something about how the whole band regard these places.

Small shows mattered to Radiohead, he says, not only as stages to improve on but as the place where the relationships inside a band are forged.

Steve Lamacq lists venues they played in those years that have since closed, and the talk turns to how much has been lost and why the campaign exists at all.
