Closing Music Heritage UK

It’s with a heavy heart that we announce the end of Music Heritage UK.

Following a long period of consideration we, the Trustees, have decided that now is the right time to call it a day. Owing to personal and professional reasons, founder and chief executive James Ketchell can no longer devote as much time as he’d like to promoting, protecting and preserving music heritage.

Our initial idea was borne out of a belief that as a country we weren’t doing enough to celebrate our proud popular music history. We thought we could use our iconic history to encourage music tourism, support live music venues, and ensure that our memorabilia and archival history was preserved for future generations to come. In hindsight this was a huge and broad ask and although we’ve had a small impact in all of those respective areas we were unable to make it work financially and take it beyond a volunteer-led hobby. Since our inception we’ve seen the launch of a number of other organisations with deeper pockets, more time to devote and different business models who are all doing great work in their respective fields. Our work helped to set the scene for all of those, so we can leave knowing that live music, music tourism and music history are in a much healthier position than when we started. Over the seven years we’ve been operating we’ve achieved some great things. This includes writing the country’s first, and to date only, exploration of the potential for music tourism, launched a successful podcast series on music history, helped the George Tavern in East London campaign to stay open, and produced great interactive maps and timelines on some of the country’s iconic acts and blogged with sometimes furious purpose. And we’re rightly proud of all of it all. Thanks There are numerous people who have helped Music Heritage UK over the years, none more so than you the supporters. Thanks to everyone who liked, tweeted and followed us. This, of course, extends to the individual donors who financially supported us. Thank you. Firstly, we’d like to thank the various Trustees of Music Heritage UK. Chairmen Chris Basiurski and Panikos Efthimiou, members Andy Grazebrook, Jamie Credland and Martin Bowman. Thanks for your support and guidance over the years. A special mention to our ambassadors, Pete Cafferkey, Lee Sargent and Sheryl Davis who provided much needed advice, support and contacts. A special thank you to Sheryl who is doing so much great work in the States to preserve music history. Thanks to our website developer Digitalime who provided us with two affordable websites, Sutori who helped us with our interactive music timelines and recreating the Stones in the Park gig in realtime on Twitter, designer and photographer Gareth Logue for his work on a number of projects and cartoonist George Leigh who drew a great picture for us to use. Also a special shout out to those who volunteered their time for us over the years including Steve Heath who worked with us with our map on Bob Dylan in the UK. We’d also like to thank Charlie from Where is my Mind? quiz and Ronan from Ringo: Music Bingo who ran music events/quizzes for us (see both of them at End of the Road this year). A special thank you to Danny Pockets who is sadly no longer with us. I’m truly sorry we were never able to get our exhibition idea off the ground. We’d like to thank all the people and places that inspired our podcasts and made them great. This includes Hawkwind, The Zombies, founder of the Isle of Wight Festivals Ray Foulk, artist and David Bowie’s mate George Underwood, the Royal Albert Hall, The Roundhouse and the yank with an in-depth knowledge of Britpop, Alison. We’d like to thank UK Music for working with us to publish Imagine, to date the only report into the potential for music tourism. Thanks to Jo Dipple, Tom Keil and Jon Todd for believing in us and making it happen. To the inspirational people we worked with over the years notably Pauline Forster at the George Tavern whose never-ending energy, passion and love for her venue should be an inspiration for all. Henry Scott-Irvine and Phil Ryan from the Save Denmark Street campaign who fought for what they believed was right in the face of a multi-million pound central London development and the associated politics, spin and untruths that come with it. And Bruce Cherry who passionately believes in the potential for music tourism. Our money We have decided to distribute our remaining funds to two projects which we’ve supported online over the years. We have split what remains between the recently reopened Eel Pie Island Museum and Coventry’s Music Museum. These are two awesome DIY music projects led by two truly inspirational curators, Michele Whitby and Pete Chambers who will make great use of our money. We’re delighted that our donations will continue to support music history and hopefully help these two initiatives to survive and prosper. We’ve sent them £744 each, which although not life changing, will go some way to helping them keep on keepin’ on. Please do pay them a visit if you can. The future We’ll keep the website up and running for a few more months. Our podcasts will still be on iTunes for the time being but will eventually have to be pulled. They will be archived on Mixcloud, however. For those with a particular interest in music tourism, the Music Tourism Association has launched - with Bruce Cherry at the helm - and will continue to work within and outside the industry to generate more support in this area. James will continue to explore his interest in music history but in a different and a more flexible way. Stay tuned for more from him in the near future!

The music Finally. The Music. Because that’s always been what this has supposed to be about. Our heartfelt thanks to the great bands and artists who inspired us over the years. Without you Music Heritage UK was nothing. Love, Peace and Rock and Roll. X
