Support grassroots music in Telford

Grassroots venues are where every act you have ever paid to see started out. Telford still has 21 of them.

Telford is a town of towns: Firefly in Oakengates for alternative gigs, the Wrekin Inn and The Wickets in Wellington, the Miners Arms in Madeley and Albert's Shed at Southwater.

Two pubs a day closed across the UK in the first quarter of 2026, and over the year to July 2025 78 grassroots music venues stopped putting on live music - 30 of them shut for good. Those are the rooms where new acts learn to hold an audience, where a first support slot happens, and where a Tuesday night can still turn into something.

Everything here comes from the venues and promoters themselves, refreshed every day: 7 gigs in Telford over the next four weeks, plus the 21 grassroots venues and 15 regular open mic nights we track. Nothing is ranked or sponsored - if we know it is on, it is listed.

The single most useful thing anyone can do is turn up. Buy a ticket, buy a drink at the bar, and go to a night you have not been to before. If you would rather be told than remember, the sign-up below sends Telford listings straight to your inbox. If you run a venue here, claim your page so people can find you. Start small: The Loggerheads hosts an open mic each Tuesday.

Go to one this month

7 gigs listed in Telford over the next four weeks, with 21 grassroots venues and 15 regular open mic nights. Pick one you have not been to before - a ticket and a round at the bar is the most useful thing anyone can do for a room like these. If you only go out once, Saturdays have the most choice.

1 gig in Telford this weekend (Fri 13 Nov – Sun 15 Nov) - including Bridgerton Inspired Concert at St Leonards Church, Bridgnorth (Saturday). The full Friday-to-Sunday list is in This Weekend above, and every gig over the next 28 days is below it.
Counting every upcoming date, there are 11 gigs listed in and around Telford - sixth of 6 against its nearest places with live music, behind the Birmingham area (554).
We currently list 7 gigs in Telford between 13 Nov and 11 Dec. The listings above are the full set, sorted by date and refreshed daily from the venues themselves — no algorithm decides what you see. For everything beyond this window, browse every upcoming gig in Telford in the gig directory or every city we cover.
None of the Telford gigs currently listed are marked free entry, though many venues do not publish a price at all. Telford open mic nights are your reliable free option — most charge nothing to watch or to play.
Saturday, with 2 gigs listed across the next 28 days. Saturday: 2 gigs · Wednesday: 2 gigs · Tuesday: 1 gig. Filter by This week or This weekend above to narrow it down.
We track 21 grassroots venues in Telford — see the Telford venue directory for capacity, backline and opening times.
Telford has 15 regular open mic nights that we verify on a rolling cycle. Each listing carries the sign-up time, slot length, entry fee and whether a PA and backline are provided — see the Telford open mic finder, or the UK-wide finder.
Where a Telford venue publishes a price, the average ticket is £19.50. Grassroots entry is typically a few pounds on the door, and many nights are free. On the other side of the transaction, the Musicians' Union publishes national gig rates as the recognised floor for live engagements, and the ISM publishes guidance for self-employed musicians. Our own UK gig rate benchmarks show what artists are actually being paid by region and act type.
Grassroots rooms are where every act you have paid to see learned to hold an audience. Two pubs a day closed across the UK in the first quarter of 2026, and over the year to July 2025 78 grassroots music venues stopped putting on live music — 30 of them for good. Telford still has 21 on our list. Music Venue Trust campaigns for them nationally; venues themselves hold TheMusicLicence from PPL PRS and navigate local authority licensing to keep putting music on. The single most useful thing anyone can do is turn up and buy a drink at the bar.
Listing is free and takes about two minutes — submit through the Telford gig directory and it is reviewed before it goes live. No account is needed and there is no listing fee. If you run a venue here, claim your venue page to keep its capacity, backline and contact details current. Promoters and venues booking acts can also post paid work or find artists directly.

Support grassroots music in Telford

Grassroots venues are where every act you have ever paid to see started out. Telford still has 21 of them.

Telford is a town of towns: Firefly in Oakengates for alternative gigs, the Wrekin Inn and The Wickets in Wellington, the Miners Arms in Madeley and Albert's Shed at Southwater.

Two pubs a day closed across the UK in the first quarter of 2026, and over the year to July 2025 78 grassroots music venues stopped putting on live music - 30 of them shut for good. Those are the rooms where new acts learn to hold an audience, where a first support slot happens, and where a Tuesday night can still turn into something.

Everything here comes from the venues and promoters themselves, refreshed every day: 7 gigs in Telford over the next four weeks, plus the 21 grassroots venues and 15 regular open mic nights we track. Nothing is ranked or sponsored - if we know it is on, it is listed.

The single most useful thing anyone can do is turn up. Buy a ticket, buy a drink at the bar, and go to a night you have not been to before.

Where a Telford venue publishes a price, the average ticket is £19.50. Grassroots entry is typically a few pounds on the door, and many nights are free. On the other side of the transaction, the Musicians' Union publishes national gig rates as the recognised floor for live engagements, and the ISM publishes guidance for self-employed musicians. Our own UK gig rate benchmarks show what artists are actually being paid by region and act type.
Grassroots rooms are where every act you have paid to see learned to hold an audience. Two pubs a day closed across the UK in the first quarter of 2026, and over the year to July 2025 78 grassroots music venues stopped putting on live music — 30 of them for good. Telford still has 21 on our list. Music Venue Trust campaigns for them nationally; venues themselves hold TheMusicLicence from PPL PRS and navigate local authority licensing to keep putting music on. The single most useful thing anyone can do is turn up and buy a drink at the bar.
Listing is free and takes about two minutes — submit through the Telford gig directory and it is reviewed before it goes live. No account is needed and there is no listing fee. If you run a venue here, claim your venue page to keep its capacity, backline and contact details current. Promoters and venues booking acts can also post paid work or find artists directly.
