00:01Next, almost 30 musicians are preparing a month of events across Walsall to support
00:06the town's grassroots music scene.
00:09Walsall Music Mayhem will run at venues including The Wheat Sheath, The Victoria and The Fountain
00:15Inn.
00:16Organisers say the idea followed the pandemic, cost of living pressures and the closure of
00:20The Oak Inn, which had hosted open mic and live band events.
00:25Regular local performers will be joined by hosts, teachers, rehearsal room owners and
00:30bands from Walsall's past.
00:32The group says it wants to rebuild a community around live music and make clear there is space
00:38for musicians and music fans alike across the town throughout May as the programme grows.
